Performance, Delivery and Resilience Directorate

We provide the central function of co-ordination and support for performance, delivery and resilience activity across government and ensure that the organisation monitors and responds well to a range of concurrent risks.

We support the Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Secretary for Finance, Shona Robison MSP, as well as the Cabinet Secretary for Justice and Home Affairs, Angela Constance MSP.

This support includes executing and managing responsibilities such as:

resilience
cross-government delivery and outcomes
government statistics
the office of the Chief Researcher
the National Performance Framework
government strategy, including the First Minister’s Programme for Government (PfG)

This includes responsibility for:

ensuring effective planning, preparation and planning on how to respond and recover from incidents, events or emergencies
supporting a greater focus on delivery across the organisation, developing and implementing new performance and delivery arrangements
providing analytical support
