Benefits Realisation
Within the final business case for our original 2026 change programme there were several projected outcomes stated. These outcomes relate to our organisation, people, partners and our communities. These programme outcomes have now been linked to specific benefits of the various projects set up as part of the original change programme, some of which have now been completed and closed.
As a result of the challenging financial landscape we were unable to secure the full funding as outlined in the FBC for our Operating Model project. Whilst we have made significant progress in implementation of our operating model, work is now ongoing to review areas still to be delivered, as set out in the original business case. This workstream will;
- Determine gaps as we plan for project closure
- Establish how gaps will be addressed
- Articulate impact on realisation of associated benefits
The tables below provide a high level view of progress against realisation of programme outcomes. We are now formally working with the Police Scotland Chair of the Forensic Performance Operations Group (FPOG) to articulate and evidence the tangible impacts of improved service delivery for our partners and the communities we serve.
