Key Questions… Are functions carried out at the appropriate level – how can these be mapped to the new service model? How can you ensure a flexible workforce adaptable to change, innovation and technological advances? Do education commissions match service need and support skill mix change? Is there a clear succession planning process in place? Are workforce monitoring/reporting systems and processes in place?
