What Next for VFM?

Thoughts on the Process Read across board papers, strategy day papers and other business documents Validating our claims, e.g. 10% saving made on VFM – how was this done and measured Risk management & exit strategies e.g. supported housing risk

Thoughts on the Process Don’t underestimate the time requirement Lots of opportunity for contextual discussion and explaining/sharing more detail on themes Document requirement is extensive Focus on liaison with CEO/FD

Thoughts on the Process Proportionate approach tailored to the organisation – well calibrated Focussed on whole business then a deep dive Interactive, helpful learning opportunity Used as a catalyst to take a good look at the business

Outcomes Good grip on business No major findings but: – 100% stock condition survey results – Risk monitoring at board level – VFM monitoring and compare with targets – Stress testing – deflation/further cuts etc – Some board papers needed further detail – Board skills and recruitment journey
