Pressures on our capacity to deliver
Minutes:
The Board discussed the pressures that were creating current pinch
points on resources and those that would make a difference to the capacity to
deliver in the longer term.
The current concerns related to the capacity of specific service areas:
Strategic Transformation; Communications; Members’ Business Service; and
Finance; business analysts; Legislation; and HR. Factors that make a difference to our
capacity to deliver were considered to include: project management skills;
internal churn and availability of staff; recesses; failing to recruit when we
try; and the prioritisation and duplication of work.
Human Resources
had prepared a substantial document of management workforce data. The Board
discussed the data and the pressures that influenced the different teams’
working patterns. The requirement to manage business need and progress projects
over the summer recess, ensuring that staff were working effectively and
efficiently through the year, had to be balanced with their health and
wellbeing.
