PSE Chinavicharana-Mole presented the paper as previously shared with the meeting outlining two options for managing IT resources and projects. Chief Officers were requested to review the presented options and determine the preferred course of action.
The Digital Transformation Oversight Board recommended option one suggesting it provides the greatest opportunity to succeed, based on previous years’ delivery experience. It was also recommended that a review is undertaken at the six-month point to assess portfolio progress, and whether additional projects can be started, due to the progress of projects and or additional capacity becoming available.
It was noted the paper is due to go to Essex Chief Officers for their decision in February. Kent Chief Officers AGREED to support option one and welcomed a conversation with IT to review the priorities listed in the paper.
PSE Jonathan Castle presented the high-level financial update paper for period 8 2024/25 as previously shared with the meeting. The paper provided ongoing insight into this year and highlighted emerging trends and key areas of anticipated variance.
The forecast continues to be a break even position on service expenditure budgets. Savings delivery remains an issue and is now at £1.8m and actions should continue to be taken to reduce this as the year progresses and into the new financial year.
The next detailed forecast and reporting period of the 2024/25 financial year will be P9 (quarter 3) covering April to December 2024. There were no actions or decisions.
There was no further business for the open session.
