Performance Improvement
What we do....
Focusing upon the needs of authorities in response to the Comprehensive Area Assessment we provide support to authorities via provision of Peer Challenge through the West Midlands Performance Assessment & Improvement Scheme which addresses corporate performance management, including a discrete corporate people management option. We work with authorities to ensure best use is made of available Capacity Building resources. We can provide you key performance improvement contacts within all authorities and offer guidance in respect of capacity building activity.
