Faced with the potential benefits that come with digital transformation – improved productivity, better value for money and sustainable efficiencies – what are the outcomes of different parties, such as government, industry and academia, working separately or together? Working in a siloed way increases the risk of diverging standards, definitions, contractual terminology, and of reinventing the wheel.
The UK and several other countries respond to this question by identifying a ‘task group’ to act as a central coordination body and a change agent for the public and private sector transformations.
CDBB’s international methodology highlights four main pillars of phased activity required to reach the desired targets:
- government policy actions, public procurement and project implementation;
- industry and academia building the required framework of associated standards and documents;
- training and trial projects to include early case studies that measure benefits and reflect a successful change programme; and
- communication and engagement with communities of practice to win hearts and minds.
