How can government work more effectively with technology partners to deliver better public services?
In this episode of The Digital State Podcast, Paul Scully and Asad Ansari are joined by Kevin O’Neill, Senior Vice President at CGI, to explore the realities of delivering technology and transformation across the UK public sector.
The conversation examines government procurement, digital transformation, innovation, the role of major technology suppliers, and how SMEs can play a greater role in delivering public sector outcomes.
Kevin also shares his perspective on what government and industry can do differently to build stronger partnerships, accelerate delivery, and create more space for innovation.
At its heart, the discussion asks a simple question: if everyone agrees the system needs to change, what is stopping government and industry from changing it?
