What I mean when I say "digital transformation"
Digital transformation is a phrase that gets thrown about a lot in government circles at the moment.
It means different things to different people. This makes it impossible for people to really understand what you mean when you say it.
I’m not the first to write something about this. Simon recently wrote about how the phrase is misused. Matt has also written good things.
Plenty done
A few weeks ago was my fifth anniversary at the Government Digital Service.
I’ve had the opportunity to work on a huge number of important projects in various roles including software developer, technical lead, product owner, delivery manager, troubleshooter and technical architect.
From building GOV.UK to travelling to DVLA in Swansea every week creating new digital services. From rebuilding a service that takes billions of pounds in payments in just a few weeks to bringing IT back in house after 30 years of outsourcing. From sitting on the technology spend control board to hiring hundreds of skilled people into government.
