The UK government is getting better at digital. Earlier this year it topped the UN’s e-government ranking for the first time, and high-profile successes such as the creation of GOV.UK contributed to savings of almost £4bn between 2012 and 2015.
This success, however, has come by focusing on exemplar front-end projects and the underlying infrastructure to support digital change. To realise the full benefits that new technology can bring to public services, departments must now tackle fully transformational, end-to-end projects.
These large-scale projects bring huge opportunity, and greater risks – which is why learning from the successes and failures of previous digital projects is vital.
To support this process, CSW and global digital transformation specialists Cognizant are hosting a round table bringing together senior officials from across central government to consider the following question:
How can departments successfully deliver large-scale digital transformation projects?
Attendees will discuss the relative importance of factors such as skills, culture, regulation and policy change.
