Measuring up

Ten pages of minutes from the BBC's Board Meeting in June - most of it rubber stamping the Annual Report and Audit by the NAO. And that old favourite, an update (no more info shared that that) on the project to rebuild the EastEnders set at Elstree.

The Board got a little busier on 'metrics' for the year ahead. If the minutes are right, they've sharpened up the Executive's proposals...

"The Board considered the draft operational plan and discussed the proposed metrics for measuring performance against objectives. Directors agreed that the roll-out of the iPlayer strategy needed to be more ambitious given its strategic priority; that there should be additional objectives for BBC Studios; that metrics related to pan-BBC working and culture should be included; that objectives and metrics related to the individual Nations and Regions should be developed and that overall the modelling should demonstrate how performance targets aligned with wider industry performance.

"The Board agreed that, once finalised, reporting against the metrics should be made available to the Board at every meeting."
