Continuous Improvement Process. The parties will identify new continuous improvement initiatives on an annual basis, with a 6-monthly check-in on ongoing continuous improvement initiatives. When establishing a new continuous improvement initiative, the parties will classify the initiative based on whether it can be implemented as:
A. part of the ongoing ‘business as usual’ services (cost and resourcing to be absorbed by Service NSW; or
B. a new project initiative (cost and resourcing to be agreed by the parties). A prioritisation process will be agreed upon between the parties to prioritise initiatives (for Service NSW, this will be performed by the Partnerships team). The Council may be required to effect policy, system or regulatory changes to assist in delivering the service process improvement, as agreed with Service NSW. Where a review of Council policy, system or regulatory changes is requested by Service NSW from the Council, these should be conducted within timeframes agreed between the respective Relationship Managers.
