Rewiring the state: Unlocking government transformation
The UK government has set the directive for a “complete rewiring of the British state to deliver bold and ambitious long-term reform”.
It says that a “digital revolution” will underpin the move to a more “agile, effective and active state”, focused on delivering its missions: growing the economy, an NHS fit for the future, safer streets, opportunity for all, and making Britain a clean energy superpower. It is also essential to simplifying how citizens interact with government to access more joined-up services.
This study – which was led by Lord Gus O’Donnell and includes insights from in-depth interviews with 12 UK permanent secretaries – explores the barriers and enablers to transformation in government, with a particular emphasis on the role of digital technologies and data.
The study, which was supported by knowledge partners Cognizant and Amazon Web Services, identifies four priority areas as key opportunities to accelerate change.
