STRATEGY
Over the last few years we have responded to a rapidly changing environment in the field of social housing. We have also highlighted the strength of existing and potential partnerships with other agencies as a catalyst for driving through the improvements necessary to deliver our goals in helping to strengthen communities.
The key tools used for setting out plans and priorities are as follows:
The Internal Management Plan which sets the overall mission and framework for the organisation in its governance, structure and functional aims.
The Business Plan aimed at maximising resources through private funding. Principally this document highlights financial performance and medium to long term projections.
The Strategy and Development Funding Plan which sets out the market context and procurement policy for capital projects.
By focusing on clear objectives and priorities, some determined by legislation such as the Housing (Scotland) Act 2001 and some by our planning processes, we have already made very good progress leading to significant achievements in the following areas:-
- Tenant participation;
- Modernised contract procurement in capital projects;
- Wider involvement in community partnerships;
- Our performance measures (benchmarking and self-assessment)
