I have finally finished putting all the material for the LGDS onto a website to make it a bit easier to get to grips with. Am still working through a couple of bits of feedback, but everything you need to get started is on there now. Have already had a couple of conversations with councils […]

ERP in local government

Dave Briggs' other blog

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 months 4 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 […]

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.
