The centralised team will need to align resources and expertise to specific directorates / services to ensure that any specialised knowledge meets service specific requirements. Consolidated team is still a flexible pool of resources and whilst a member of the team may have a primary focus in terms of supporting and working with specific Directorates / Services, they will also work across other corporate and service areas to maximise the benefits of this new way of working and to achieve the efficiencies required. Directorates will still have specific responsibility for aspects of strategy, policy and performance work. Directorates retain Accountability and capacity for service specific policy An equivalent of 121.3fte do this across Directorates. This represents posts where less than 30% of time is spent on this and/ or reflects senior manager posts.
