Ten years of paper Planning records digitised, securely destroyed and made accessible for Officers and customers in our DMS. Led the implementation of a shared Planning Service ICT system for Chiltern and South Bucks. Highly complex project involving the coordination of multiple phases and strands. Delivered on time, within budget, enabled a true shared service, single set of processes, reduced time spent on maintenance and developments, £10k savings per year, further rationalisation of our ICT systems and a platform for further developments. Designed, planned and supported the programme for a shared Planning Service. I supported the Programme Board to successfully initiate and control multiple project streams including the staff re-structure, digitisation, single ICT system and single culture projects. More recently facilitated a scoping exercise with Planning staff and managers to identify 30 projects and their interdependencies to enable the planning of their exemplary Planning Service programme. Project managed and delivered a shared service review of Planning Services culminating in a service design and business case for a fully integrated and co-located Planning Service. I engaged and led the facilitation of staff through multiple staff workshops to define and discover the current business situation and design new ways of working. The project was highly engaging of senior Councillors enabling regular involvement and influence through a Members Working Group. This led to unanimous endorsement and high commendation by the Chiltern and South Bucks Member Joint Committee. The shared service enabled £300,000 of annual cashable savings, multiple customer improvements, more resilient Planning functions and was independently endorsed by a leading Planning Services consultancy.
