The future of online public services in the age of austerity
In the year after the coalition government took power, a number of significant and radical changes and new approaches to IT management in the public sector have been introduced. An important facet of the new government technology strategy, intended to reduce cost while offering better services to citizens, is the delivery of public services online.
In this CW500 Club event, you will hear from Bill McCluggage, deputy government CIO, leader of the Identity Assurance programme - a fundamental part of the “digital by default” agenda – and a key player in the central government IT strategy; and Hampshire County Council CIO Jos Creese, who helped write the local government IT strategy. Bill and Jos will discuss how the government’s online plans will be delivered and the challenges in making it happen.
Public sector IT is an issue that increasingly affects IT leaders in every industry as the government looks to private firms to help deliver services – and an issue that affects every one us of as citizens too.
Attendee testimonial:
"As a busy Local Authority IT Manager, I find the approach and focus of the CW500 meetings invaluable for keeping up to date with the latest industry thinking and best practice. The Q&A sessions often bring out alternative approaches from other practising CIOs that prove equally valuable for balance, and the networking opportunities have created contacts that I otherwise wouldn't have made; some of which have led to leading edge projects in my Local Authority."
- Nick Roberts, Surrey County Council
