Another long weekend _and_ a general election. Not sure if I will publish weeknotes during the pre-election period but I will continue to write them so if nothing happens here over the next few weeks expect a bumper pile of them on 5th July.
What I’ve been up to
- With help from our organisational blueprint colleagues we’ve been reviewing current, interim and to be states for Digital. This means looking at the shape, size, structure, skills and plans. What does the future Digital function look like and what do we need to do over the next 1-2-3 years. Great to get some peer review and challenge on the work we have done on our op model and strategy so far. Also really helpful to be thinking about what we might have missed.
- The Government Transformation Week launch event at the House of Lords went well. The week of events isn’t until November but I encourage everyone to think about the value of attending. I always get a lot out of them.
- Kicked off a conversation with our parent department and sister ALBs about future collaboration and how we can deliver better value to both our respective organisations and the market.
What I’m doing next
A pre-election period might mean that we can’t communicate more openly over the next few weeks but that doesn’t mean that work stops.
- Tuesday is Change Portfolio Executive where I will be providing an update on our current priorities and work profile over the next few months.
2. Wednesday there is a digital all hands call. Looking forward to finding out more about what people are up to
3. For those in London on Wednesday, we are having a few drinks with Adrian to say goodbye properly to him.
4. Work continues on the future digital op model work with organisational blueprint colleagues. We have a workshop to agree next steps.
