Do you need an app for that?
Found in Blog / Published 04 March 2015 / By Susan Diamond

Since this is a quandary that often comes up, we’re hoping to draft some guidelines later this year. But in the meantime, here are some ideas to get you thinking about the possibilities and pitfalls.
To app or not to app, that is the questionOur advice is to take a step back from an app as a solution and ask yourself:

Later this month two-factor authentication (2FA) will be turned on across the websites run by the Digital.govt.nz team: Digital.govt.nz, Data.govt.nz and Govt.nz. We’ve decided to require 2FA following CERT NZ guidance on making sure accounts are secure.

A digital native’s take on digital inclusion
Found in Blog / Published 16 November 2018 / By Amy Bieleski
Digital affects and impacts everyone differently. As a digital native, my perspective of digital is different - different from my parents, and my grandparents - but also different from other digital natives. Each of us has varying degrees of access to digital technologies, literacy skills, and participation with peer culture. While this is commonly accepted, what should not be accepted is the divide between those who have the access and skills to participate in the digital world, and those who d…

What we can learn from the Design Intensive
Found in Blog / Published 10 November 2014 / By Joanna McLeod
What can a super-speedy ride down a slide teach us about designing for customers? I found the answer last week when the Design and Innovation team from Result 10 hosted a Design Intensive for 40 public servants from various agencies.
As a communications person, I think it’s important to break down exactly what kind of design we’re talking about here. You’re probably picturing me hovering behind a designer saying “Make it pop! Make it sizzle! But do it with the colours in our style guide!” Well,… -

E-government in Estonia and 'Government as a platform' in New Zealand
Found in Blog / Published 09 June 2017 / By Lee Dowsett
Insights about Estonia
Recently I attended a workshop as a part of conference in which Kaidi Ruusalepp (thanks Kaidi!) from Estonia took us through the experience of using public e-government services there. That experience as well as other contact I’ve had with Estonia informed this post.
I think that Estonia has achieved a very high level of e-government through a combination of great skills, will and a supportive population. In a nutshell, using your Estonian e-identity card or app as a ‘key… -

Every time I need to access my email or phone message on my mobile, I find myself trying to find the highest point on the deck and wait for a signal (it's like going air-fishing waiting for a notification-bite). When that fails, every time we driv… -
