White-Paper: Continuity and confidence - how to accelerate the delivery of digital citizen services

Government is putting increased focus on the impact public sector organisations have on people’s lives – from helping them access vital services with speed and simplicity to supporting economic growth and community renewal.

As highlighted in the 2020 Spending Review, demonstrable value for citizens is at the heart of the government’s plans for the public sector, with an emphasis on gaining even greater benefits from the established Public Value Framework.

This white paper explores the Public Value Framework, its relationship with GDS processes and recent Treasury guidance, which explicitly unites both in a more effective and faster method for agile delivery, offering a four-step model for how you can use the new guidance to create more robust and resilient public-facing digital projects that deliver services that satisfy citizen needs.
