Harrogate Borough Council use Pentana Risk for effective performance management
Rachel Glendinning, Performance Manager, worked closely with the Business Support team in Development Services to gather the necessary historic and current information, key that information into the system and then get it validated. Although a time-consuming task, absolute accuracy was necessary in order to satisfy the Audit Commission and to build confidence in the project.
By October 2005 the data on Pentana Risk was complete and accurate and more importantly was becoming relied upon. Any initial scepticism was rapidly fading, and interest from other parts of the organisation was building.
