2. GDS and Transformation - 2019 and beyond
It was great to hear from the Minister about the support he’s giving to GDS.
I’d like to go into a bit more detail about our work.
I want to talk about:
The mission of GDS and the progress we have made
What we will be focusing on in 2019 and beyond

3. GDS helps government work better for everyone by leading the digital transformation of public services
This is our purpose - what we are here to do
Scope of organisations we’re trying to help transform also includes local as well as central.
Not just central gov departments, is public sector too.
And this remains our purpose regardless of the wider context.
While we are supporting government to deliver EU Exit - which I will talk about later - we are also working on long-term transformation.

Most of you will be aware of the things we build at GDS
Having the Government as a Platform suite of common tools, components and guidance means that departments can draw on technical expertise and products that would have been too costly to procure independently.
You can see from the figures some of the things we’re doing
Examples:
GOV.UK - we are currently working with departments to communicate vital EU Exit-related information.
GOV.UK Pay - which can be used to pay for emergency travel documents or for electronic visa waivers
GOV.UK Notify - which is being used across central government and the wider public sector - including to send reminders for GP appointments
The Digital Marketplace is now 4 years old - £4.5 billion has been spent through it, with more than 90% of the suppliers being small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs)

6. DDaT: 17k Local Digital Declaration Transformation Peer Group
We published the Government Transformation Strategy in 2017 and we’re delivering against it
The objectives in the strategy are:
Provide tools, process, governance
Help government transform
Invest in skills and people
Make better use of data
Build shared platforms (for reuse)
Tools -- GovWifi: growing take up - over 418 installations - Embassies and boats
Transform -- Local Digital Declaration - nearly 150 organisations signed up all across the country
The Transformation Peer Group and the publication of the 7 Lenses guide to transformation - we’ve distributed 4,500 booklets of the 7 Lenses
Skills & People -- 17,000 people in the DDaT profession
38 job families and
10,000 students through the GDS Academy
