Putting People at the Heart of Government with Anna Wojnarowska
Placing people at the heart of government projects in the UK has led to innovative ways of bringing about change in the public sector. In my talk I will show how the Government Digital Service focuses on understanding the culture, motivations and needs of the Civil Servants by using ethnographic methods to support technology transformation projects. By following this method and planning research across every stream and phase of the project it’s possible to identify the biggest opportunities for change, whether technology, service or policy-driven. I will explain about this approach using two examples of projects I worked on, in the Cabinet Office and Home Office.
