1 The City of Edinburgh Council Business plan A thriving, sustainable capital city
2 Introduction This business plan sets out the strategic direction and priorities for the City of Edinburgh Council during 2015 to Our city is widely recognised as a great place to live and do business, and we as a Council are proud to be able to play a part in that success. Together with our partners we have delivered real and tangible improvements for our city in recent years including the completion of the tram project, demonstrable improvements in outcomes for young people, safer communities and cleaner streets, as well as major investment in our business, sporting and cultural infrastructure. The next few years will be challenging, with increasing service demands coming alongside greater financial constraints and major reforms in the way we provide our services. Nevertheless, our programme remains ambitious and focused on delivering on our vision of Edinburgh as: a growing, thriving and sustainable capital city a city whose quality of life draws talent and investment from around the world a city where the public, private and third sectors collaborate with common purpose, and ultimately a city which puts the people of Edinburgh at the heart of its success. Implementation of this business plan is critical to the delivery of our vision. The strategic direction provided here will help us to: Deliver high quality, joined up and responsive services Get things right first time, and exceed our citizens expectations Make sure our citizens have a say on the decisions that affect them and trust that the Council will listen Ensure that our workforce live and breathe our core Council values of putting the customer first, being forward thinking, working together, and being honest and transparent. The next few years will be a period of significant change for the Council, but by concentrating on these values we are confident that we will continue to deliver better outcomes for the people of Edinburgh. Andrew Kerr Chief Executive Councillor Andrew Burns Council Leader The City of Edinburgh Council Business Plan
3 The Council vision and strategy The environment in which the Council operates is changing and the delivery of our vision for the city requires fundamental changes to the way we provide our services. In response to these changes, the Council s strategic model is evolving. The Council s Business plan for is built around a single vision for the city, shared with all our partners. To deliver this vision, Council services focus their work around three, overlapping strategic themes. These themes define the priorities for Council services and set out our commitment to: Improve quality of life Ensure economic vitality, and Build excellent places. Across all these themes, we are committed to providing best value for the people of Edinburgh and to deliver lean and agile Council services. We know that the only way to fulfil this vision is to create a strong environment of co operation and joint working with our partners and citizens. In this context the Council is committed to taking a progressive approach to partnership which proactively seeks out opportunities to make the most of our collective strengths and talents. Vision for our city Edinburgh is a thriving, sustainable capital city in which all forms of deprivation and inequality are reduced To deliver this vision, Council services focus their work around three overlapping strategic themes Improve quality of life Ensure economic vitality Across all these themes, we aim to: Deliver lean and agile Council services Build excellent places Council wide foundation strategies which support our work Transformation Citizen and partner engagement Workforce Budget The City of Edinburgh Council Business Plan
4 Strategic themes The Council Business Plan sets out three strategic themes to focus delivery of the Council Vision. These themes are delivered through 12 crosscutting priority areas for action. Improve quality of life Edinburgh is widely recognised as one of the best cities in the UK in which to live. Our priority is to improve quality of life by ensuring all Edinburgh citizens have the opportunity to fulfil their potential, by supporting children and young people, increasing participation in sport and cultural activities, by ensuring access to high quality care, and by building safe and empowered communities in which all citizens experience improved health and wellbeing. Children and young people fulfil their potential Improved health and wellbeing; reduced inequalities Right care, right place, right time Safe and empowered communities Ensure economic vitality Build excellent places Edinburgh is home to the most successful and vibrant economy in Scotland, powering growth and jobs for a wide city region. Our priority is to further strengthen our international competitiveness, supporting business growth and investment. Our work will continue to develop our low carbon, cultural and creative sectors, and ensure everyone has the opportunity to benefit from our economic prosperity. Edinburgh is a beautiful city with a rich historic built environment co existing with first class modern infrastructure. Our priority is to maintain our city as an attractive place to live, work and visit. This means having a city built around communities able to access housing options that meet their needs, with well connected accessible transport infrastructure, and enhanced business, cultural, sporting and local infrastructure in all areas of the city. Business growth and investment A creative, cultural capital An attractive city A range of quality housing options Access to work and learning A vibrant and sustainable local economy An accessible, connected city A built environment to match our ambition The City of Edinburgh Council Business Plan
5 Deliver lean and agile Council services The next few years will bring significant challenges for all Councils, with increases in demand for key front line services coming with continuing financial constraints. To meet these challenges we know we need to be a lean and agile Council which puts customers at the heart of everything we do. This means transforming the way we do things, with a leaner structure, clearer and simpler processes, supported by a skilled and motivated workforce. The work of all Council services is supported by four foundation strategies and priorities for action Transformation, Workforce, Citizen and partner engagement, and Budget. These priorities will guide our work and help ensure we achieve the best outcomes possible for our customers. A strong reputation is essential to the success of any organisation, and working to these priorities is important to improve the perception of the Council amongst our customers and stakeholders. We will work to improve our reputation by providing excellent, responsive services and by promoting engagement in our decision making processes. Across all this work we will ensure that Council services continue to be provided within legal and regulatory requirements and that we promote good practice in assurance, financial and risk management across all our services. Transformation We drive transformational change to deliver a Council built around our core values of working together, putting the customer first, forward thinking, honesty and transparency. Workforce The single largest investment any Council makes is in its people. We are a Council where positive outcomes are delivered by an engaged, empowered workforce of high performing people. Citizen and partner engagement We focus on understanding our citizens needs and delivering the outcomes that matter most. We create a strong environment of co operation and joint working with our partners and our citizens. Budget We promote the financial sustainability of all Council services by further improving our budget planning and monitoring processes to secure a balanced budget. The City of Edinburgh Council Business Plan
6 Council Transformation A core priority for the Council during is the delivery of transformational change across the organisation. This programme aims to build an organisation centred on our customers, services and communities. Our Council Transformation Programme sets out an integrated group of projects pulling together all aspects of transformation. The plan comprises two core projects, supported by a number of crosscutting workstreams. Citizens and Neighbourhoods: This project will deliver a new operating model for the Council in which services have an enhanced focus on local communities. The project will improve local control over services and priorities, reduce bureaucracy and deliver more resources to the frontline. Business and Support Services: This project will deliver a new model for the provision of central support for Council services. The project will provide a strong strategic centre to support frontline delivery, streamline processes and help move towards a right first time, customer focussed approach. These projects are supported by a range of initiatives aimed at improving outcomes for our communities and providing best value for money.

7 Council planning framework This business plan forms part of a cohesive planning and performance framework that connects the strategic priorities of the Council to: Commitments and pledges set out by the Council leader and the Capital Coalition Commitments and action plans agreed by the Council with its Community Planning partners through the Edinburgh Partnership Detailed operational action plans for the delivery of frontline services, and Local area plans guiding the delivery of services in our communities. Further details on commitments and targets for each element of this framework are available on the Strategy and Performance pages of the Council website. Progress against the delivery of these plans, including performance against specified targets, is reported to Council every six months. This committee scrutiny is supported by monthly reviews of performance and progress by the Corporate Leadership Group and by senior management teams across all service areas. Details on the Council s approach to performance management and up to date information on progress against this plan are published on the Strategy and Performance pages of the Council website.

8 A thriving, sustainable capital city The Council priorities set out in this plan reflect real issues that the people of Edinburgh would like us to improve. Our research with Edinburgh people tells us a lot about what our customers think about their city and the services offered by the Council. In 2014, 89% of residents said they were satisfied with Edinburgh as a place to live, while 67% of people were satisfied with the Council s management of the city. When asked what the Council could do to further improve the city and their neighbourhood, citizen responses include key priorities for action: Care for vulnerable people and homecare for the elderly, activities for children and young people, education and skills development, and tackling antisocial behaviour. These priorities drive the Council s work to Improve quality of life in our city Support for local businesses, promote Edinburgh as a place to invest and do business, improve access to cultural opportunities. These priorities drive the Council s work to Enhance economic vitality Street cleaning and waste collection, road and pavement improvements, public amenities and green spaces, affordable social housing. These priorities drive the Council s work to Build excellent places. Our understanding of residents priorities comes from a number of sources, through survey research, consultation, and analysis of customer feedback. The Edinburgh People Survey, for instance, is the largest survey of its kind in the UK, gathering information on quality of life issues, local services, and residents perceptions of the Council. Results from the survey are used to inform service design and improve performance across the Council. At the same time, our Budget Engagement programme helps us understand residents priorities for how the Council should spend its budget. In 2014/15, this consultation alone received over 3,500 responses and made a real contribution to determining the Council s spending priorities. Citizen priorities Citizen insight drives Council action Improve quality of life Ensure economic vitality Build excellent places The City of Edinburgh Council Business Plan
