Change Agent
Overview
Click to see overview - on mobile devices onlyThe Change Agent programme is a collaboration between Microsoft, Socitm and every public sector body we work with.
Our aim is to train at least one person in every public sector service to be a catalyst for change, connecting them with others in similar roles to innovative create communities of practice.
The Change Agent programme is designed to work alongside existing change efforts, with some authorities planning to use this as their main catalyst for change.
The programme provides a foundation, even intermediate understanding, of a range of tools that authorities are deploying or already benefiting from, such as SharePoint, Teams and the Power Platform – including Power BI.

- Become more aware of the technology available to you and your colleagues to save time, remain compliant and support colleagues & residents
