• Improving the quality of delivery
  The Council will guide the development of some specific initiatives such as near miss reporting and continually increasing professionalism

• Working with Government to achieve better outcomes for the citizen

Workstreams

The Council continues to provide high-level direction to its workstreams focusing on the following special-interest areas.

In addition to the five workstreams of the PSC, the Communications Group is tasked with shaping the messages surrounding the PSC’s work programme and communicating it to stakeholders.

Government engagement

It aims to do this through direct engagement with the Strategic Supply Board Tiger Teams and well-established contacts in the Cabinet Office, OGC and other government departments leading in the implementation of the transformational government agenda.

The Strategic Supply Board is a joint industry/government forum created to foster increased cooperation and drive the improvement of IT-enabled public services through the implementation of shared goals.
