Planting the Flag is a Local CIO Council (LCIOC) initiative led by Socitm’s Futures group. It sets out how technology can enable public service reform across the whole range of local services and deliver significant savings and better outcomes for people where they live and work. It assumes commitment to the sort of value-driven, cost reducing, organisational change that we advocate.
This document is a primarily a guide for chief executives, elected members, and senior management teams in local public services. A more detailed version is available for CIOs/Heads of ICT, ICT specialists, and the private sector. It is the result of open and wide consultation across the public, private, and civil society sectors, including central government colleagues and the ICT industry. It builds on work done by LG Group, SOLACE, CIPFA, and others on the future of public services. Most crucially, it offers a local dimension to the recently published national Government ICT Strategy.
