Business ICT Strategy Board – The Business ICT Strategy Board (Strategy Board) will meet quarterly
to review formally submitted Outline Business Cases against the Business ICT Strategy, current year
investment plan, the current approved portfolio of projects and current business priorities. The
Strategy Board will also monitor and review progress on the Business ICT Strategy Implementation
programme for the current year.
Technology Advisory Board (TAB) – The Technology Advisory Board will meet monthly or on
demand as needs require reviewing technology assistance requests from the business, and providing
advice and guidance to the business for projects at the ‘concept’ or feasibility stage. The TIB may
recommend projects are further developed to Outline Business Case stage and submitted to the
Business ICT Strategy Board for assessment. The TAB may also recommend projects are passed
directly to ICT for development and implementation governed by the ICT Change Board. The
Technology Innovation Board will also, as part of its core remit, provide a key focus on application
rationalisation. It will also be responsible for evaluating new technologies that may have potential
corporate applications for the council in the future, to help inform the on-going development of the
strategy.
ICT Change Advisory Board (CAB) – The ICT Change Advisory Board will meet weekly to plan and
manage the delivery of ICT change requests that originate from the business or from ICT. Change
requests may be received from the TIB or the Strategy Board to the ICT CAB. The ICT CAB will report
back formally to both the Business ICT Strategy Board and the TAB on a regular basis to inform on
progress and provide insight on issues and further opportunities.
