Governance
The
Operating Committee
has collective responsibility for running
the group’s business. To do that, it develops BT’s strategy and
budget for Board approval, recommends to the Board capital
expenditure and investment budgets, monitors financial,
operational and customer quality of service performance, reviews
the Group Risk Register and its individual risks, allocates resources
across BT within plans agreed by the Board, plans and delivers
major programmes, and reviews the senior talent base and
succession plans. The Company Secretary attends all meetings.
Within BT’s corporate governance framework, approved by
the Board, the
Operating Committee
can approve, up to limits
beyond which Board approval is required, capital expenditure,
and disposals of fixed assets, investments and divestments. It
can, and has, delegated some of these approvals, up to its own
limits, to sub-committees such as the Design Council and to
seniorexecutives.
The key management Committee is the
Operating Committee
, which meets weekly and
is chaired by the Chief Executive. The members of the Committee are set out below.
