When is dorset going digital

In , a group of five colleagues, from different organisations in Dorset, started to meet regularly to share knowledge and experience and identify ways to collaborate on shared initiatives relating to Digital.

We felt others could benefit from sharing and learning with each other so decided to run a digital networking event, inviting anyone from the public sector in Dorset. During the event we learnt how our library service has developed their offer to respond to the changing digital landscape, they field and help to co-ordinate requests for digital support, offer e-books and support digital skills within the community by running code clubs and loaning digital gadgets to help practice these skills at home too.

Then we had a quiz based upon the Government Digital Service Standard, which helped us to open up a conversation about how we approach service delivery both within our individual organisations and across organisations too. The networking event was a great success and we have already started to plan the next one. We learnt to step outside of our comfort zones, be brave, and try something new.

This first event was really successful and for me the new network I am part of has been really beneficial in my working day.
