The “digital centre” was a short-lived name for a long-term change: expanding the UK’s Government Digital Service within its new departmental home at the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, and folding in teams from other government teams (namely CDDO, and i.Ai).
I was brought in to help with some of the words, and my work ended up forming parts of the Blueprint for modern digital government, and some related communication material.
I worked closely with a large team of colleagues from GDS, CDDO, and beyond, including: Richard Pope, Helena Trippe, Tim Paul, Jennie Vinnac, Cheryl McGillion, Arindra Das, Michael Gearon, Kuba Bartwicki, Chris Ballentine-Thomas, Will Joss, Isobel Barrett and Emily Middleton.
This was hard work at times, with many twists and turns, but ultimately very rewarding. Such a pleasure to be part of such a very talented team.
