The Routemap for Local Public Services Reform - enabled by ICT: Socitm invites your input
Tuesday 8th March 2011
Socitm is inviting stakeholders from across the public, private, and civil society sectors to take part in an online consultation on the Routemap for Local Public Services reform - enabled by ICT.
Consultation on the draft Routemap runs from Tuesday 8 March until Monday 4 April, and the Routemap itself will be launched at the Socitm Spring conference on May 11.
Creation of the Routemap began when the Cabinet Office asked the Local Chief Information Officer (CIO) Council to lead on developing a local public services perspective on the Government ICT strategy. Socitm, which runs the CIO Council, has led this work through Socitm's Futures Group.
The Routemap aims to translate relevant strands of Government ICT strategy into practical actions by local CIOs to support public service reform and re-design in their areas. It will provide a practical, 'pan-local' approach to ICT-enabled public service reform that will cover local authorities, health services, blue light services, transport authorities, housing associations, educational institutions, civil society organisations, and local arms of central government delivery organisations.
The Routemap is not intended to prescribe the exact route local public services should follow. Instead, it aims to set out a broad vision of where reformed and ICT-enabled local public services might be in five years time, the principles that will underpin the changes needed, and specific elements that will need to be in place.
