The skill-sets, ways of working, and team capabilities to work with technologies have improved over recent years, but are still a way off where they need to be. Our group and forum will work to understand where digital teams can be strengthened both in terms of discrete skills that are under-represented such as design, product management and front-end development - as well as ways of working across digital teams that NHS peers can learn from. We will collectively work to share good practices, develop each other as a community of digitally-focused NHS staff, and engage with national decision-makers around the evolution of digital skills and ways of working across the NHS.
Have we got a sense of where the digital teams in the NHS are wanting some support with capability development? EG is it around design or digital change management, or implementation, or supplier management, or making the case with stakeholders internally… how might we use our group to get a handle on this? Who might give us a start from having looked at this (CIO networks / James Freed’s crew?)
