UK Survey – The digital skills gap in government

UK National Audit Office – “Government’s austerity and reform agenda means delivering the same or better with less resource. Civil service headcount is down nearly one-fifth since 2010. Further cost reductions will be difficult without major service redesign, and significant contribution is expected from digitally-enabled business transformation. To improve data about the availability of the digital skills needed to achieve this transformation, we undertook a survey of central government digital leaders in August 2015. This document sets out:

  • The survey findings and digital leaders’ views on current position on digital skills and how needs are being addressed
  • Thoughts on future areas for consideration
  • Part One: Overview Sets out the context and summarises the survey findings
  • Part Two: Survey results.”
