1.2     Background Summary

The realignment of Napier City Council has highlighted that improvements are needed in the ways in which strategies, performance, risks, projects and resources (particularly staff) are managed. The CAMMS performance management tool will enable staff to plan, execute and drive these improvements.

 

CAMMS is a leading provider in Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) and Business Intelligence (BI) software. The CAMMS business reporting and management tools enable people working on projects to share their work, track and allocate resources to projects leading to increased efficiency throughout Council. Three CAMMS modules have been purchased:

 

1.   Enterprise Risk Management

2.   People, Performance, Reward and Recognition

3.   Portfolio, Project and Program Management

 

It is anticipated that the first two modules will be completed by June 2017 with the third module implemented by December 2017.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

During the first week of February CAMMS facilitated workshops involving senior staff to scope Council’s current situation including existing frameworks, project planning, policies and procedures. 

 

Based on the information supplied by officers at the risk workshop the CAMMS team have drafted a Risk Management Strategy (attachment A).
