Our Operating Model
#TeamCaerphilly - Better Together is a strategic programme of “whole-authority” transformational change delivered through a new operating model which will underpin for the way that we provide services.
We need to move away from traditional models of service delivery, embrace change, be prepared to innovate and take well managed risks. We will also need to modernise through harnessing emerging technologies and fully engaging with our workforce and communities.
At the core of this programme of change is our mantra of Social Heart and Commercial Head. This recognises our commitment to public service and the needs of our citizens, but also demonstrates a commitment to explore commercial and investment opportunities, where appropriate, to generate income that can be reinvested in services to help them remain resilient.
This strategic programme of “whole-authority” work will be delivered through the following key themes:
- Culture
- Innovation
- Digital First
- Service Reviews
- Commercialisation
- Community Engagement
- Collaboration
- Resources
- Workforce Planning
