INITIAL WORK PROGRAMME FOR THE EAB AND FUTURE MEETING ARRANGEMENTS PDF 73 KB Additional documents: Decision: (a) To agree
on the high-level work programme for the Economic Ambition Board over the next 6-9 months (b) To agree
on a schedule of meetings for the Economic Ambition Board until the end of the calendar year. Minutes: The report was submitted by the Board's Lead Director. RESOLVED (a) To agree on the high-level work programme for
the Economic Ambition Board over the next 6-9 months. (b) To agree on a schedule of meetings for the
Economic Ambition Board until the end of the calendar year. REASONS FOR THE DECISION It was essential that the
Economic Ambition Board, in its new guise, had a clear work programme to lead
key activities over the next 6-9 months. This would allow the Board to
commission the Executive Support Group with a purposeful work plan in order to co-ordinate
the work of delivering the Growth Vision. This would ensure an agreed direction
for the Executive Support Group's activities, with clear milestones and
timetables, which would help in managing expectations. |
