Following consideration of the officer report, appendices and discussion, the Executive resolved to:

·       Agree the Target Operating Model for Somerset Council.

·       Delegate authority to the Executive Director - Strategy Workforce and Localities to make any future minor amendments or improvements to the Target Operating Model in consultation with the Lead Member for HR and Transformation.

The Leader of the Council, Cllr Bill Revans, invited the Lead Member for Transformation, Human Resources and Localities, Cllr Theo Butt Philip to introduce the report. Cllr Butt Philip explained how the Target Operating Model would support the council plan and the delivery of the transformation programme.

Rachael Dixon, Process Redesign Manager, added to these points: explaining the consultation process involved in developing the Target Operating Model, the different areas of the council that were involved, and the feedback gathered so far.

The Leader of the Council, Cllr Bill Revans, invited comments from Committee Members and other Members present. Questions and points raised included: the feedback from Scrutiny Committee – Corporate and Resources; the timeline for the final structure; what the performance and success measures are; that the Target Operating Model is not a final, fixed document.

The Leader of the Council concluded the discussion and proceeded to a vote on the recommendations, which were agreed unanimously.
