It's worked so far. It remains to be seen how it will age - maybe in ten years time it will be just as buried in bureaucracy as the rest of the offices.
- shubb 13y agoI understand the (very successful) www.gov.uk site was largely done by direct government employees, working for the various departments the website covers. On the other hand, a number of huge, subcontracted efforts (NHS system, tax IT consolidation) seem to be going much worse. I don't think this has to do with the skill of the people involved. Rather, I think when the lack of flexibility in huge government contracts meets the demand of a new government to change everything, the project fails.
- jamii 13y agoYes, www.gov.uk is the product of the new Digital Government Service which I linked above. They haven't been around for very long yet and they are currently only responsible for the government web-services but I hope that their success will eventually pave the way for in-housing much bigger project likes NHS systems.
