Agenda item

Report of the Chamberlain.

The Sub Committee considered a report of the Chamberlain outlining a proposed Digital Services Strategic Roadmap, developed as a coherent guide to the full digital transformation of public-facing and back office internal services.

In presenting the report, Officers advised that having reflected on the achievements of the previous strategy and building on lessons learned from the previous strategy, a new Digital Services Strategic Roadmap, informed by workshops had been developed. Officers also highlighted that Item 10C of the agenda for this meeting was presented to the Efficiency & Performance Sub Committee on 26 February 2021 and going forward, benefits accrued from the new Digital Services Strategic Roadmap would be considered by the Efficiency & Performance Sub Committee.

Members stressed the need for feedback mechanisms to take forward the digital agenda and shape the future direction of travel.
