This looks like an important read – the first from from the House of Commons Science, Innovation and Technology Committee on Rewiring the state: Delivering digital government:
Our inquiry identified four building blocks for successful digital transformation, and four barriers to realising its benefits. The building blocks are:
- Money: Money is undoubtedly being spent on digital initiatives but inadequate data on digital spend prevents the government from making informed decisions or holding those responsible to account.
- People: The public sector needs more of the right people to deliver digital transformation of the state, and cultural change to ensure skills are valued and embedded in leadership levels.
- Information and data security: The current government is not holding itself to the standards of information security needed to secure public trust, or to prevent massive data breaches from happening again.
- Delivery: The government has a vision but needs a plan to deliver it. There is still time to turn things around but without a detailed, measurable plan, this digital transformation agenda may not succeed.
