Implementation and Oversight
IMPLEMENTATION FRAMEWORK
The City Council’s vision will be delivered through the goals and strategic objectives set out in this Plan.
Those goals and strategic objectives feed directly into the policies and strategies that the City Council puts in place across the full range of our services. Much of the work needed to deliver the Corporate Plan will be detailed and progressed through these policies and strategies.
Each year, the City Council’s Service Delivery Plan will set out specific priorities, as well as annual objectives for our principal services. Together these priorities and service objectives will help us work towards achieving our vision. The Service Delivery Plan will show clearly how the work programme for the year links to the Corporate Plan goals and objectives.
This approach will embed the necessary flexibility into our framework for implementing the Corporate Plan.
Team Charters for our staff right across the organisation will translate those priorities and service objectives into work programmes linking the day-to-day work of our teams directly to our vision for the city.
GOVERNANCE AND OVERSIGHT
Progress on delivery of the Corporate Plan will be measured by an annual review of the outcome metrics in this Plan, a twice-yearly review of the performance metrics in the Annual Service Delivery Plan, and ongoing monitoring of activity levels in Team Charters.
The Dublin City Council Risk Management Policy and Procedures 2024 sets out a continuous cycle for the management of risk: Identify; Assess; Manage and Monitor. The procedure includes the identification and management of the significant risks to achieving the objectives of the Corporate Plan and the Annual Service Delivery Plan.
An annual survey of citizen sentiment will give an indication of public perception of our service performance and progress towards achieving our vision.
The City Council’s Chief Executive and Senior Management Team are responsible for ensuring implementation and delivery of the actions needed to achieve the goals and strategic objectives set out in this Plan, within the resources and capacity available.
Ongoing oversight of the Plan’s implementation will be through the City Council and the Corporate Policy Group, with the City Council’s Strategic Policy Committees having responsibility for overseeing progress on the individual goals within this Plan.
The Monthly Management Report, Annual Service Delivery Plan Progress Reports and the City Council’s Annual Report will set out to the Elected Members where progress is being made and what the various metrics are showing.
