Reform private roundtable: People-powered public services: the role of technology

11 Jun

Ruth is out and about today attending the Reform private roundtable on “People-powered public services: the role of technology” with Chi Onwurah MP, Shadow Cabinet Office Minister.

The seminar is exploring new and innovative ways of delivering public services on a tighter budget and will be attended by a host of leading policymakers, practitioners, business experts, journalists and other stakeholders. Wonder which category Ruth falls into?

‘The seminar will explore ways in which technology can empower citizens in their relationship with government. It will identify examples where digital government is working – and should be highlighted as a model for other parts of the public sector. Areas where more can be done to put real power into the hands of citizens will also be explored.’

Ruth… tell us how it went? Go on.
