In an age of discontinuity and polycrisis, change is happening at all levels of Government, in both thought and practice, visible both inside and outside public buildings: Walls are coming down. The silos inside governments and between government agencies and between government and the private sector—all these boundaries are increasingly being dissolved in the service of results.
We begin by exploring the foundational principles for a modern civil service, with unprecedented possibilities, we hear how central departments can work together to bring the best of innovation, data, and technology to improve public services and operational efficiency.

What are your mission-critical capabilities and how do you balance the benefits of integration with the risk of a ‘one size fits all’ approach?

Can you share some of the new approaches you are taking to change the offering to deliver what your employees and citizens need and value

How are we embedding the highest standards of trust, integrity, transparency, and equity in everything we do and build?

How do you manage centralisation while also working on solving whole problems that span multiple departments?

In the context of the 2022-2025 framework set out to achieve the ‘great’ standard for the top 75 services, what’s next in your digital strategy and what does ‘great’ mean to you?

As we approach the finishing line of the ‘Transforming for a Digital Future: 2022 to 2025 Roadmap for Digital and Data’ roadmap, Civica has partnered with Total Research to conduct a survey involving 360 civil servants across 15 major government departments, aiming to assess the achievements made and identify any remaining objectives. From bridging the gap between the perception and implementation of AI to fostering data consolidation and sharing, through to the development and deployment of a single access platform, we explore the progress of the civil service along the Roadmap for Digital and Data.

Key learning points:

1) The current adoption of the ‘Transforming for a Digital Future: 2022 to 2025 Roadmap for Digital and Data’ roadmap
2) Where potential hurdles for adoption can be seen
3) What is the next phase of digital adoption?

AI is no doubt a strategic priority for central departments as we look to streamline business processes and empower their workforce to tackle more complex issues. That said, we all know too well that preparing bots for life in the office takes foresight and planning.

This session shines a light on our adeptness to grasp the potential, from building the business case, implementing the technology to preparing the workforce for successful adoption. How we can leverage lessons learned from the private sector such as the disruptions in supply chains to accelerate our own transformation. We also observe some of the ‘green shoot’ experiments that are emerging in the UK and across the world that we can learn from.

Is there enough transparency around the expectations and measurement of AI/tech and how might this policy evolve?

How is the board defining tech capabilities, proof of concept and navigating the risks

What are some of the key enablers and operating models that harness innovation and which actions should you be implementing in readiness?

How can we make sure we are taking full advantage of these technologies for better decision-making capability?

We know interoperability is a must for AI, what is some of the fresh thinking around adoption and interaction?

How can we nurture our procurement ecosystems to improve visibility and efficiency?

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the most talked-about topic of our time. With promises of automating tasks, streamlining processes, and creating answers, it’s no wonder everyone has scrambled to get their hands on this technology and try it out. But like all new trends, AI has its sceptics. Even the industry analyst Gartner has described AI as sitting at the ‘Peak of Inflated Expectations’ on its signature ‘Hype Cycle’.

AI matters and is here to stay, and the landing ground for the AI invasion is customer experience and the contact centre. Here AI offers the alchemy of >30% efficiency gains at the same time as delivering hyper-personalised service at scale. But is AI safe and ready to use yet? What are the major challenges and risks? Is it going to cost money or save?

Join Martin Taylor, Deputy CEO, as he explains why AI for public-facing communications is something you can, and must, start adopting and implementing this year.

Here we go again… again! Machinery of Government changes are inherently disruptive, as departments strive to deliver amidst large-scale data migrations, organisational restructures, and office relocations. This session explores whether central government can break the cycle of disruption caused by these changes. Using the recent DESNZ/DSIT/DBT Machinery of Government change as a case study, we delve into whether common technologies, cross-government standards and shared services offer a glimmer of hope. How can departments improve their resilience to change? Join us to discuss innovative strategies and collaborative approaches that could mitigate the upheaval and foster a more stable governmental framework.
Key learning points:
• Mitigation strategies to minimise the disruption of MoG changes
• Lessons learnt from DESNZ/ DSIT/ DBT Machinery of Government changes
• Potential future solutions focusing on the potential of shared services and cross-government standards

Modernising Legacy Tech
This table know all too well the slog of legacy tech, this table asks how you can most effectively migrate from legacy systems and address the skills and talent challenges that so often cripple modernisation projects. What is the role of team dynamics and talent and what about differences between UK public and private sectors?

Embedding Resilience
What progress and pitfalls are central departments currently experiencing and how are they reducing risks while integrating these into core digital strategies? Which opportunities are they unlocking on their journeys a more resilient future? If you are grappling with short and long-term strategies this table is for you.

Leading with Trust & Transparency
This table explores the principles of trust building, including safety, building in safeguards and how we are embedding the highest standards of trust, integrity, transparency, and equity in everything we do and build?

Data Sharing Methodologies
Shaping strategy through a data-fuelled government is paramount as we evolve into modern civil service. This table discuss how they are leveraging industry technologies and collecting evidence-based data points from across their department to shape better decision making.

Security by Network (Collaboration)
Globalisation and cross-border alliance continue to boost the influence of wider collaboration across non-governmental entities. As the balance of influence shifts, we ask how the table are finding ways to build greater cooperation.

Engaging your Employees
There’s nothing quite like internal validation. When employees are highly engaged with your company’s initiatives, it builds credibility and leads to higher productivity, creativity, and loyalty. This table share strategies for greater engagement.

Adopting Back Office Technologies
This table discuss the ways central departments are leveraging back-office tech to improving mission performance. How have they identified tech reporting tools, how did they prepare for adoption, which are worth the investment and why?

Unleashing Productivity in Government
As we rapidly journey into a more digital-driven world, it’s important that we converge the tools and strategies, this table discuss share best practices and lessons learned.

Over the last few years, employee expectations about work and life have changed drastically – and changed for good. Employees want to know that their voices are heard, there is a purpose to what they do, and they are treated as an individual with unique traits and aspirations. Similarly, citizen expectations of interacting with public services have evolved significantly in recent years, driven by advancements in technology, the proliferation of digital services in the private sector, and changing societal norms.

Key learning points:
This presentation will explore:
• A human-centred digital perspective to re-designing the employee and citizen experience.
• Improving both the way employees interact within an organization, and citizens interact with public services – and the mutual benefits of each, building greater levels of efficiency, accessibility, satisfaction, inclusivity and trust.

Central government’s relationship with suppliers is ready for change, spurred on by the Treasury’s recent announcements on consultancy spend. Its services have the UK’s biggest user base and are critical for keeping the nation running, but are heavily and increasingly dependent on external suppliers.

How can departments flip the switch? Tecknuovo will discuss how its Zero Dependency framework is already changing how central government drives value from suppliers. You’ll learn how outcome-based contracts, upskilling in-house teams, and transferring ownership to central government can change the face of digital service delivery in government for good.

This discussion takes stock of the lessons learned so far and the fundamental infrastructure required to deliver service value, starting with how you organise modern data, lead and build data teams, building scalable platforms, delivering value through stakeholder engagement and the importance of balancing the near and long term as a key to success. It will—if done right—catapult your department to new heights of performance.

What is the best approach to modern data architecture particularly, how we collect, move data workflows across the cloud and make good use of it while ensuring it is reliable and ready to use?

What is the relevant regulatory context for being open and transparent about how we are using data and the impact on services and citizens?

How do you organise modern data in a way that gives access to every employee who needs it with the assurance it is secure?

What is the role of personalisation here when we are balancing accessibility and usability and accuracy?

What are some of the practical iterations and ethical considerations we are seeing so far?

Businesses are demanding their IT systems are the enablers to drive better outcomes as technology is seen as a differentiator, but the technology is evolving at a rapid pace, it is impossible to keep up, the solutions and designs of the past hinder adoption and continue to increase the technical debt. Whilst the need for adoption and exploitation of technologies like Cloud, IoT, AI and Quantum can seem like distant horizons.

The need to transform from the monolith architectures and drive towards more modular platforms, creates an environment where business outcomes are met, modern technologies can be more easily adopted and, in some cases, form the foundation. A true platforms environment will impact people, process, and technology from development to deployment.

During this session we will explore the early stage thinking and benefits of building a platform-based environment.

We are in a frontier for technology globally where there is a clear economic imperative for AI but how do we drive meaningful outcomes for communities and the environment through procurement and governance? We want this to be of benefit however we need to be guarded and critical to ensure humans are kept in the loop…

How can we unleash the power of civil society to support recovery and growth?

Who benefits overall and how is this going to work in practice, is it sustainable and ethical?

Is it going to be disadvantages to different demographics or people?

How is this being incorporated into governance and senior leadership oversight currently?

Is there a risk of relying too heavily on AI and how can we ensure it empowers employees rather than deterring them?

Securing a Civil Service role can feel daunting, complicated, and out of reach for those who’re unfamiliar with the recruitment process. Whilst there’s some great guidance out there, we feel that it all too often lacks clarity around how to best approach applications. Due to this, we believe that the Civil Service is missing out on recruiting talented, passionate, and experienced candidates. Not because they lack the aptitude or attitude needed to succeed in the Service, but because those applicants do not have the helping hand to “navigate the labyrinth” of Civil Service applications. Testament to this is the fact that without support from friends working in the Service, neither of us would have secured roles when we did, if at all…
