Background
The Change Programme consists of specific key projects which are directly aligned to and underpin the successful delivery of our strategic outcomes:
• Our People are supported through a positive working environment, enabling them to provide excellent forensic services;
• We are sustainable, adaptable and prepared for future challenges;
• We deliver high quality, ethical services; and lead in order to advance forensic science;
• We work collaboratively with partners to serve the needs of the public & criminal justice in Scotland.
The current change programme projects are:
• Access to Laboratory Services Project;
• Deployment of Scene Examination Project;
• Operating Model Project;
• Core Operating System Project and;
• Data Governance Project
While there is an immediate focus on the above key projects, our change agenda also seeks develop our current and future research and innovation activities into a co-ordinated Research and Innovation programme fully aligned to our strategic objectives.
Effective engagement with our people and collaboration with our partners remain critical success factors for our change programme and we will continue to build upon existing engagement strategies as well as identifying new opportunities as we progress through the implementation phases of the various projects.
