The last decade has focussed on modernising government, efficient government and of course digital transformation from supporting the McClelland Review of Public Sector ICT in 2011, through to the new digital strategy published in March 2017. The approach in Scotland is one of co-design and production working closely with the digital technologies industry on innovation, skills, economic growth and societal change recognising the contribution that public services can make to Scotland’s ambitions.
