Role and Responsibilities of an ‘Action Lead’

Context:

In order to progress achievement of the shared outcomes identified in the Strategic Growth Plan (Community Plan) Outcome Delivery Plans will be agreed and taken forward by the community planning partners. The Outcome Delivery Plans will be live and evolving documents, subject to ongoing review, and will be performance through the identification and monitoring of performance level measures. In order to assist in management of these plans, it has been agreed to identify a partner organisation to undertake the role of ‘Action Lead’ for each individual action.

Role of Action Lead:

An ‘Action Lead’ does not and, indeed, could not have sole responsibility for achievement of an action. Community planning actions, by their nature, will depend on the active contribution of a number of partners to ensure their successful delivery.

An Action Lead will, however, have a significant interest in ensuring the success of the related community planning action which is highly likely to be closely linked to the remit of their own organisation.

The nature of the role will, primarily, relate to co-ordinating and reporting.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Co-ordinate the contributions of identified partners to define and agree the performance accountability scorecard for each action, including agreeing performance measures and the involvement of each identified partner towards the action 2. Report to the Community Planning Partnership on progress using the identified performance measures 3. Where appropriate, ensure obligations in relation to statutory processes are undertaken, e.g., rural proofing. 4. Act as key point of contact for the Community Planning Partnership in relation to that action. DRAFT FOR DISCUSSION – (Director Review Amends)
