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 to advance forensic science.
- We work collaboratively with partners to serve the needs of the public & criminal justice in Scotland.
The current change programme active projects are:
- Operating Model – Implementation of Op Model Design including integration of Post-Mortem Toxicology.
- Forensic Services Core Operating System (FS COS) & Data Migration Project.
- Criminal Toxicology – Long Term Sustainable Model
- Data Governance Project.
- Research, Development & Innovation (RDI) strategy design, prioritisation & delivery.
Change programme activities also include: (a) oversight & reporting of benefits realisation associated with projects; (b) oversight of response to post implementation review activity and associated recommendations.
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.
