Our Digital Strategy: 2022 to 2025

About our strategy

Being digital is about using online tools and new ways of working to improve services.

Our Digital Strategy will ensure that citizens and businesses are at the centre of how we design and deliver better online services. It builds on the good work of our previous strategy.

Our strategy has been developed from our conversations with citizens, businesses and staff, and responses that we received from our online surveys.

Our aim

We want to make Birmingham City Council a place that uses the best of data, digital and technology so that we can respond even better to the changing needs and expectations of our citizens and businesses.
