The Digital Leaders Programme is a free to attend invitation only programme that brings together influential leaders from all backgrounds to get to grips with the role digital can play as a key enabler for the delivery of transparent, efficient and citizen centric services in a new age of Digital Government.
The Digital Leaders Annual Lecture is a new feature for the 2011-2012 Programme and will be delivered by Sonal Shah, a thought-leader who has led the debate at the heart of social innovation and societal transformation in the USA and internationally.
The importance of harnessing digital technology and the internet as a provider of information, services and social interaction is at the heart of Government plans for service provision so that it is the default option for interaction between citizens and government.
Launched at the House of Commons in October 2010, this invitation only programme offers senior decision makers the opportunity to come together and build a strong network around digital delivery at the very top of the UK’s government departments, local government, communities, private sector and quangos.
Chaired by Graham Walker, Government Director to Martha Lane Fox, the UK Digital Champion, the 2011/2012 programme will include three events and an annual lecture which will focus on how leaders can be up skilled and inspired to deliver strategies that embrace the following three areas:
2011-2012 Objectives
This year’s topics will encourage Digital Leaders to consider the following aims and objectives:
- To respond to the Government’s Digital by Default agenda, by getting to grips with how digital delivery can increase the accessibility, simplicity, transparency, and efficiency of services for both government and citizens.
- To learn and be inspired on how to become ‘digital businesses’ by thought leaders, technologists, programme managers and industry specialists with advice and resources on how to deliver a service culture that maximises its interactions online through a ‘channel shift’ to digital from more traditional methods.
- To hear best practice and innovation on core areas of digital service delivery across local and central Government for key sectors including health, education and communities.
- To look at what it means to develop an assisted digital strategy to ensure that services and information provided digitally are accessible to all users, including those not currently online.
