Initial recommendations included a governance regime satisfying the six Corporations Sole delegating responsibilities, extending the scope of the Collaboration Programme beyond the planned three years to 2020 and setting more ambitious savings targets in light of the longer term strategy, including how those benefits would be shared amongst the forces.
We provided additional support to the Collaboration Programme by assessing the development of action plans and introduced a series of Strategic Visioning Sessions for the six Corporations Sole to test commitment for the programme. Trust was identified as a key enabler for the Collaboration, so providing a forum for the Forces and PCCs to understand differing perspectives was critical.
