The Digital Productivity Report 2024: Shaping the Future of UK Digital Government

Download

Over the past two years, government departments have risen to the challenge of transforming digital public services.

They have been guided by the 'Transforming for a Digital Future: 2022 to 2025 Roadmap for Digital and Data', which sets out an ambitious vision, seeking to improve operational efficiencies and provide better outcomes for citizens.

One year ahead of the finish line, Civica partnered with Total Research on a third annual survey of UK senior civil servants, to assess progress against the roadmap’s goals and pinpoint any barriers to delivery.

While government departments have already achieved a great deal, our findings point towards the need for urgent action in several areas which are critical to citizen-centred innovation and digital transformation.

Data quality and integration, cross-departmental collaboration and ethically deployed AI technologies will be integral to delivering advanced digital services that better serve citizens and reach new heights of productivity and efficiency.

With the introduction of a fresh vision for digital and data, built around a strengthened Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT), the government has a generational opportunity to set a new global benchmark for innovation and efficiency.

57% of civil servants find it difficult to use joined-up data from various sources to inform decision-making and enhance public services.
60% of civil servants cite 'Siloed working practices' and 'Budget limitations' as the greatest barriers to implementing digital transformation and data initiatives.

The new UK government has a generational opportunity to overhaul how it operates and serves its citizens, setting new global benchmarks and gaining competitive edge to shift into a new era of public sector productivity, driven by data and accelerated by Al, ensuring that the UK's public services remain at the forefront of digital innovation.
