We are working towards this by:
Evaluation – Critical evaluation of our service delivery.
Opportunity – Identifying and maximising opportunities to acquire funding and to secure sources of revenue.
Involvement – Active involvement at regional and national level with industry groups.
Knowledge and skill – Having a strong plan to develop our people to meet the service needs.
Management – Managing projects, change and performance.
Discipline – Being disciplined, consistent and with clear accountabilities
Financial Control – Robust processes to manage service finances.
