IndigoBlue has been part of a very interesting review of Government IT, carried out by the Institute for Government (IfG), one of the most innovative think-tanks currently advising the public sector. Their report is issued this Wednesday and will be available from our website. Without wishing to pre-empt the launch a clue to their findings can be inferred from the title “System Failure.” However, what was most interesting from our perspective was the number of positive recommendations that came out of the report – although there are a number of challenges and objections from a variety of areas the conclusions were that significant improvements are possible without huge investments and without a massive disruptive revolution. We’ll be writing a lot more about this over the coming weeks – the challenges of IT in Government are shared by many large organisations. Hopefully, we are seeing the beginning of a more reasoned, common-sense approach that will benefit us all.
