”

The review was one of a number of Labour initiatives developing digital policy

@peterkwells

The review operated openly and independently

@peterkwells

Some of the report praised existing government policy.

There is Good Stuff happening.

@peterkwells

Some of the ideas made it into government policy.

That is a Good Thing.

@peterkwells

Many of the ideas did not.

@peterkwells

● Give power to people and communities

● Universal service obligation for internet access

● Digital inclusion● Digital switchover● Improve democracy using open data● Greater accountability● Move from inclusion to participation

● Make the whole public sector a great place to work

● Principles and frameworks for data and ethics

● Architectures and platforms● Clarify and simplify procurement● Declare delivery capabilities and plans● Greater transparency● A public sector that works openly

Focus the best people on the services with the highest social value.

@peterkwells

Be ambitious and do the hard stuff. We are building the future.

@peterkwells

Digital does not make a better society by itself. Choices, priorities and principles determine the future.

@peterkwells

Make digital government work for everyone.
