Continuous Improvement
Community Planning Partnerships (CPPs) whose ROAs have been approved may still be involved in the process of continuous improvement.
Outcome based approaches involve managing change through an ongoing cycle.
Many of the stages in the initial process will need to be repeated later on, to ensure that the agreement is still as accurate and effective as possible. Once an ROA has been approved there is still scope for amending outcomes, indicators and targets to ensure they are appropriate and achievable, though these need to be approved by the Scottish Executive through Annual Reports.
The kind of information that may need to be updated includes information which was not complete when the ROA was approved, for example:
• outcome targets which needed information from surveys which were still to be carried out or from data that had not been published when the ROA was being compiled;
• defining outputs for services and projects which had not been finalised;
• dealing with unallocated spend.
