CORPORATE PLAN 2019-2024

Strategic Deployment Our Corporate Plan is a strategic framework that sets our high-level goals and strategic objectives over the next five years. The goals identified in this plan arose from months of consultation and research where priorities for the organisation, our key stakeholders and services users were identified. Our high level goals breathe life into our vision. Our goals are supported by strategic objectives we want to achieve by 2024. In order to meet these objectives there are a number of actions that are implemented and monitored yearly through our Annual Service Delivery plans. We will focus on the day to day delivery of efficient and valuable services representing our network of neighbourhoods and communities. We will focus on improving those services with shared responsibility through ongoing performance measurement and management. The Annual Service Delivery Plans will therefore ground the objectives of the Corporate Plan with detailed actions and performance metrics. The Corporate Goals are phrased and formulated in such a way that they are cross-cutting and relevant to many areas of service delivery. If priorities are complex, they will be broken down into smaller projects, identifying cross departmental responsibilities and associated impacts. Priorities will be achieved through the implemention of a number of strategies and policies as highlighted under each goal and supporting objectives in the coming pages. Each year a review will be conducted of the Corporate Plan and Annual Service Delivery Plan to monitor progress towards achievement of the objectives in the Corporate Plan. Local Authorities are ideally positioned to deal with local needs and circumstances. Cork City Council’s Corporate Plan considers what is relevant and topical given our local circumstances, our challenges and most importantly our vision and ambition for Cork City.

We play a significant role in progressing national, regional and local policies which we have outlined in the Appendix.
