From the other side of the world
Found in Blog / Published 10 September 2013 / By Susan Diamond ,
The Digital Engagement team was approached by the UK-based newsletter Civil Service World to write an article about innovation in the public sector. The editor said that New Zealand’s public service has inspired a large number of initiatives. We sent them a story about New Zealand’s beta.govt.nz website. The beta.govt.nz site was launched in late August to make sure everything works as planned before the public launch later this month.
We’re continuing to watch the evolution of gov.uk with grea… -

Open data, open government
Found in Blog / Published 14 December 2018 / By Victoria Wray ,
Open data forms a foundation for open government. It has transparency baked in, as it makes the evidence for decision making and accountability open to scrutiny.

As part of a commitment to the Open Government Partnership's 3rd National Action Plan, the GCDO is collaborating across government to release an open dataset of government agency names, contact details and roles. This will reduce considerable duplication of effort across government as well as open up opportunities for anyone to analyse and build on this data about the structure of government.

Found in Blog / Published 20 February 2015 / By Leigh Harrison ,

We’ve been very happy with the response. :) It’s been great to see the community step forward and offer its huge knowledge and experience.
There’s been some comment in the la… -

Collaboration, co-funded development and a new document management module
Found in Blog / Published 06 July 2017 / By Paul Murray ,
In 2015, MPI took the SilverStripe Document Management System (DMS) and extended it to better suit their needs. With thousands of documents to manage and varying permission structures to factor in, it was important for them to have additional document management functionality.
With many other government agencies facing the same document management challenges it became clear that there was an opportunity to make use of co-funded development to share these features across CWP users.
Co-funded de…
