The committee considered the latest Programme Highlight Report which was to be considered by the Shadow Executive Committee on 11 February 2019.  The report provided an update on progress since the January meeting of the Shadow Executive Committee.  Key achievements in the last period were set out in paragraph 1.2 of the report.

A comment was made with regard to the need to ensure a smooth transition for IT in terms of members being able to access information and programmes from the previous sovereign councils in addition to all the information for the new Dorset Council.  The Corporate Director Legal and Democratic (Designate) would take this point back to IT colleagues.

In response to a question with regard to the mitigation of risks, the Programme Director noted that there was an active risk register which was reviewed on a regular basis.  An example of work being undertaken in respect of risks associated with data disaggregation was provided.

A request was made for outcome information to be included in the report with regard to actions that had been marked as complete.

In response to a question, the Programme Director explained that services on day 1 would not be very different to how they currently looked, with the emphasis being on ensuring services continued to be delivered safely and legally.  Transformation work would be commenced within phase 3 to follow the elections to the Dorset Council.
