State of Digital Government Review www.gov.uk/government/p... Written statement questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-stat... Press release www.gov.uk/government/n... All from DSIT (UK Government). To follow: Blueprint for Modern Digital Government #govtech #digigov #deckchairs

The Blueprint will transform how citizens' experience the state, empowering them to engage with digital public services when, how, and where they choose. It also sets out how we will use technology to drive radical, far-reaching reform across the public sector.

Delivery of the blueprint will be led by the new digital centre of government within my department. This new team has now been established, bringing together the work of the previous Government Digital Service, Centre Digital and Data Office and Incubator for AI from the Cabinet Office, as well as the Geospatial Commission and part of the Responsible Technology Adoption Unit from other parts of my department. This new integrated function will be referred to as the Government Digital Service.

Today the Open Digital Planning community descended on Newcastle for our latest face to face day as we continue to transform the planning system. For the first time other government agencies joined MHCLG and Local Authorities. Hopefully many more to come! @visitmy.website @willguv.bsky.social

Problem of this week: how to set ourselves up to be a better self-organising team across our work to improve the planning technology market. Loads of great conversations with my wonderful colleagues yesterday!

Yesterday my wonderful colleagues ran agile training for local gov planners in the Open Digital Planning community. We've funded improvement projects with uncertain timeframes and outcomes... which can cause anxiety. The training is often a breakthrough moment (+brilliant for community building!)
