Transforming and innovating for Kingston

To address the council’s financial position and meet new demands and pressures the council needs to shift its operating model and develop a new system for the future. Our transformation ambitions, launched in 2020, provide the structure and focus to enable the council to respond to challenges whilst driving efficiencies and making positive changes.

Principles

  • Digital First Supported by Digital Inclusion
  • A more commercial use of our assets
  • Buying better
  • A green council
  • Working with people in an enabling way
  • Communities at the heart

This transformative approach is used as a framework to help set the council’s budget, prioritising and facilitating conversations on how we can work more efficiently whilst ensuring that we achieve better outcomes for both our residents and the organisation as a whole.
