What we’re about

Our philosophy

Simplify, standardise, share, sustain

Our focus is on how technologies and data can be harnessed to:

  • Reset the collective mindset to ensure adherence to ethical principles, respecting social foundations and ecological constraints locally and globally
  • Reform public services by embracing innovation and modernisation
  • Renew communities by collaborating across place and encouraging self-sufficiency in ways that enable them to thrive
  • Enable better, inclusive outcomes for the diverse people and places throughout the UK.

Our mission

We will:

  • Help maximise the effective use of technologies and data in delivering services and improved outcomes for public benefit
  • Help members develop professionally, share best practice and deliver their organisation’s technology and data-enabled transformation objectives
  • Provide a range of resources and services to help public service organisations and communities deploy technologies and data for public value.

Our principles

We will:

  • Deliver effective place-based public services through innovating and shaping service design
  • Ensure that Socitm remains trusted and independent
  • Use the knowledge from our members to build the services and products they want and value
  • Attract, nurture and develop the very best talent
  • Keep collaboration at the heart of our success
  • Make sound and well-judged decisions to generate a surplus that can be re-invested in Members services

Our core values

We will:

  • Treat each other with dignity and respect
    Embrace diversity as an essential component in the way we conduct business
  • Provide opportunities for people to develop personally and professionally
  • Act with integrity to develop and maintain trust with colleagues, Members and Partners
    Deliver exceptional service at all times

The power of Socitm

Close work with our sister company Civiteq (formerly Socitm Advisory), allows us to support the development of the products and services members enjoy. 

Civiteq has paid £1.1m back into the public sector via Socitm membership over the past six years, specifically helping fund our research and development, leadership development, investment in subject matter expertise and more.
