Like Governments in all major economies, the Government are investing in IT on a large scale to improve services to the public and to ensure they are more focused on the needs of service users.
The Transformational Government Strategy published last November included a number of changes to improve performance management of IT projects.
These include:
strengthened scrutiny of the most important programmes, including the appointment of Non Executive Directors to their Boards;
the establishment of the Government IT profession; and
closer work with the IT industry association to improve supplier performance in Government IT contracts.
