Have You Raised A Ticket?

To Transform or not Transform, that is the question!

Joanne and Darren are joined by Nadira Hussain, Chief Executive of Socitm, and Sam Collins, Assistant Director Digital and Information at City of London Corporation, for a properly honest conversation about Local Government Transformation — digital or otherwise.  We get into the question that nobody in our world quite wants to answer out loud: does "transformation" even exist, or have we just been rebranding "change" for the last twenty years? And if it does, how can we affect it, support it, secure it, lead it?

Ticket #2 - “Digital Twin of Me”

Joining Darren and Jo this week for the conversations that DD&T should be having in local government are Nicola Egan, Head of Innovation, Delivery and Data at Luton Borough Council, and Jens Gemmel, published author and advocate for local government digital reform.  We talk about confidence in our careers, practical approaches to encouraging different thinking within organisations and what the correct biscuit choice is for your digital twin!
