A digital transformation roadmap unveiled by the Government this month is excitingly ambitious, but the mammoth challenge needs a different approach if it’s not doomed to fail, says one tech entrepreneur.
Government policy paper “2022 to 2025 Roadmap for Digital and Data, Transforming for a Digital Future” launched to set out a digital ambition to create a more joined-up and efficient government.
Stating “people expect government services to be as good as the best online experiences in the private sector.

“This leaves government IT leaders with a near-impossible task – to optimise the technology estate without breaking line of business systems. Splitting the roadmap into missions is a good start but it will be interesting to see how each mission is cascaded and executed by the different government departments.
