Following the Transformation Launch event in May 2023 an overarching vision was agreed to frame Whole Council Transformation (WCT): “Essex County Council is ambitious and by 2030, it will be one of the most forward looking, effective and financially sustainable Councils in the country.” In practice, this means that the outcomes of WCT must significantly:

1. Improve how services are delivered, including through innovative approaches.

2. Reduce the cost of delivering services, including for the longer term.

3. Improve or sustain defined outcomes for Essex residents.
