FRIDAY 3RD JUNE 2016

Digital Transformation Leaders Summit

Run by:

A 1 day event being run by FutureGov,who are an established player and thought leader in Service, Product & Organisation design Over the past seven years, they’ve helped more than a hundred local and national authorities across four continents think differently about public services.

Supported by SOLACE, the Society of Local Authority Chief Executives, this 1-day interactive activity will see Chief Execs, Directors/Heads of Service learn from the experiences of other Public Sector organisations in the UK & globally.

Number of expected attendees: 50 Senior Decision Makers

Digital Transformation Makers Day

Run by:

“Fix in Six”
You can do a lot in six hours. Fly from New York to London, boil 120 eggs, watch the TV version of War and Peace, but could you fix something in local government?

One of these is our Makers Day which invites digital developers and designers with an interest in improving local public services to come together to solve challenges.

The challenges below have been chosen from a number crowdsourced from Local Gov orgs:

Challenge 1: Digital development is often seen as a threat by internal LA departments rather than a benefit and something that they want to engage with. A tool that could quickly demonstrate the potential benefits (savings, customer satisfaction, reduced delivery effort, trading opportunities, shared service options, etc) of digitising any given service based on usage numbers by channel (or something of that ilk) would go some way to helping break down the barriers that digital teams face. The benefits would have to be discussed at the department which is not often what we do. Less time spent convincing is more time spent making and drawing out the real benefits for customers.

Challenge 2: Like many my life does not fit neatly into administrative boundaries. At home a short walk can take me to three local authorities and across a county boundary. I work in a completely different borough and can walk to a couple more. What can we do to hide how local government is organised e.g. let me register as a volunteer once within 20 minute drive of my home.

Number of expected attendees: 70 attendees (Digital Transformation roles)

SATURDAY 4TH JUNE 2016

LocalGovCamp Unconference

When most people think of LocalGovCamp they think of the Saturday unconference and this year we’ll be welcoming 150 participants to take part in a number of sessions throughout the day.

There’s no agenda beforehand making this an exciting event at which everybody has an equal voice.

Anyone can pitch a session and facilitate it, should there be sufficient interest.

Number of expected attendees: 150 attendees
