What does the internet want from a new Digital Centre for the UK Government?

FF Studio - Don’t take grants for granted: why public sector funding needs better tools

I’ve been appointed to an external advisory panel to support the design of the “digital centre” in DSIT (currently a smooched together combination of GDS, CDDO and i.AI). I put out a call on Bluesky for reckons and pointers that has had quite the response, summarised here by Tim Paul but you should go read all the responses. I want to try here to distil some of the topics, questions and opinions around the design of public services, technology support, and what DSIT needs to do as the “digital centre”.

On Thursday I am joining a roundtable to help shape the future vision for UK digital public services.

Adding to the conversation on the digital centre, another trip to Newcastle, and positive progress for one team’s experimentation.

Things I read about product management, digital government, artificial intelligence, placemaking and other things in 2024.
