Capability Framework – level one pride

Aberdeen City Council Capability Framework

Level 1

To do this effectively each of us needs to:

  • Play our part in digital transformation by being comfortable with technology, looking for ways technology can help us deliver better services and acting on sound evidence and information
  • Adopt a commissioning approach by taking responsibility for making sure public money is spent wisely on what is going to deliver the best outcomes for Aberdeen
