WP1339 Government Transformation Map

Tender description

Why the Work is Being Done The Transformation Peer Group (TPG) has been commissioned to map transformation programmes across government. This will take the form of a digital tool that Civil Servants can access to see dependancies and other data about programmes. A public beta of the tool should be ready for early June 2017. Problem to Be Solved Departments cannot currently see how their programme relates to other programmes across government. This in turn leads to activities being duplicated across government. Departments cannot see how other programmes depend upon them, leading to poor decisions for the whole of government being taken. Ministers cannot see how their department has to work with other departments to achieve their priorities. This leads to resourcing being improperly allocated across the department. Treasury cannot plan cross government programmes as they cannot not see how these programmes fit into wider government transformation. Who Are the Users As someone involved in a programme, I need to see projects/programmes who we have a dependancy on, so that the collaboration can be managed. As a SRO, I need to see where a programme's critical dependancies are, so that risks can be managed and prioritised. As a Programme director, I need to see which programmes have similar outcomes to mine, so that I can see if we should be working together. As a Senior Civil Servant, I need to see how my department is currently working with other departments, So that I understand how best to manage the relationship.
