About this event
Most of the public services people rely on every day are delivered close to home, by councils and combined authorities. So, what happens when central and local government stop working in parallel and start working as one public sector digital system?
Phil Swan, Director for Government Digital Enablement, Government Digital Service (GDS), will explore why local government matters to the GDS mission and what the centre can learn from places, not just what it can offer them. Drawing on his experience in local government and the 100 days of Digital Devolution programme, Phil Swan will highlight how leadership, skills, shared standards and stronger connections can help build better digital public services.
You’ll come away with a clearer understanding of how central and local government can learn from each other, and why digital devolution matters to your work. If you work in local government, this is an invitation to collaborate and help shape what comes next.
