There is a lot of ERP talk at the moment, particularly in the light of LGR, and so I thought I would ask one of my robot friends to do some research into the state of things at the moment when it comes to finance, HR etc systems in local government. You can find it […]

A digital standard for local government

Dave Briggs' other blog
2 weeks ago
The service standard has had a difficult time getting traction in local government, as a report from the LGA made clear – and this despite councils theoretically committing to it when they signed the digital declaration. But when Atika asked about ways of working to embed the digital principles of user-centricity, iterative delivery, and data-informed […]

Is it time for councils to remove the A to Z of services from their websites?

The A to Z of services is a simple list of links designed to help users to navigate a council website. Their usage is now in decline, but they can still be found on around a third of UK and Irish council websites. This article looks at the background to the humble A to Z […]

Building a LGAM Explorer

As a side-project I've been prototyping something to bring GDS' Local Government Architecture Model to
life.
I wanted to create a prototype to map and show the connections between items in the layers in the technology stack used by councils to deliver the hundreds of services they offer.
The two ultimate aims are to create something that:
  • service designers, technical architects, business architects can use as part of their profession.
  • something that shows the connections between technical, business and data architecture.
For now it's just about being able to visualise the layers and the connections between them, but not all the connections are mapped, so whilst it looks pretty, it's probably not that useful as it is, which is where you come in.
You can take look here, and if you'd like to get involved and edit the data you can request access here.

Who am I, anyway?

Am having another one of my mini (online-) identity crises. To be clear – this is not a real crisis and almost certainly doesn’t matter at all, so please don’t be concerned for me. I would though value any thoughts you may have. I’m self employed and mostly make my living selling consultancy services, and […]
