How we will do it
We will:

- create opportunities for all staff to develop digital skills and knowledge through learning and practice
- support senior leaders and Councillors to build their digital knowledge
- bring in people such as apprentices and graduates who are keen to work in digital, technology and data, as well as experienced people to lead digital disciplines to improve how we do things
- work with higher education institutions to develop a pathway for graduates into digital roles
- establish new roles that are important to deliver an excellent digital service
- identify people in the Council who have the right skills to become digital champions
- establish a dedicated digital innovation team to explore ways to improve public services
- openly share what we are doing within the Council and with citizens and businesses
- ensure greater cross team working so that we work in a more collaborative, open and transparent way
