\n\"\"Last week we launched A Changing Nation: How Scotland will Thrive in a Digital World, a new Digital Strategy for Scotland.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is the third in a series of blogs looking at the three key themes in the strategy – People and Place, A Strong Digital Economy and Digital Government and Services, which will all play a key role in our recovery from coronavirus, and in helping Scotland to thrive in a digital world.<\/p>\n

We started by looking at People and Place<\/a> and how vital inclusion \u2013 whether physical connectivity or social inclusion \u2013 ethics and skills would be for Scotland to thrive in the digital world.<\/p>\n

We then looked at A Strong Digital Economy<\/a>\u00a0and how we will both support business to become digital business, and provide targeted support for our tech sector.<\/p>\n

Today, we\u2019re looking at the third section of the strategy Digital Government and Services \u2013 how we will work, in local and central government, to ensure that services are designed around the person using them, and the changes we need to make to the way we work to do that.<\/p>\n

As we become a truly digital nation, the nature of government, at a national and local level, will change. The people we serve expect services that are responsive and tailored to their needs and they expect to hold us to account for the quality and efficiency of these services. This requires us to both re-think how we design and deliver services and change the operating model of the organisations that provide them.<\/p>\n

To achieve this;<\/p>\n
