This document discusses the differences between a local digital agenda and a community digital agenda when implementing information and communication technologies (ICT) to support development in small rural communities. A community digital agenda takes a broader, more strategic approach where the entire community is responsible and involved in developing and implementing ICT strategies through multi-sector partnerships, rather than just focusing on local authorities or select services. Key steps for implementing a community digital agenda include mobilizing local partners, conducting ICT audits, developing plans to boost existing policies and strategies with selected ICT solutions, and implementing with support from experts.

The document discusses two case studies of digital transformation projects in Northern Ireland's civil service. The first from 2003 aimed to introduce an online planning system but failed to deliver as planned, going over budget by 400%. When accepted as the new director in 2010, the author took control, gave clear direction, made difficult decisions, empowered staff, built relationships, and managed expectations to turn the project around and start delivering results. The second case study from 2014 aimed to transform and modernize public services to meet public demands. The author emphasizes skills like taking control and giving clear direction while working agilely and addressing whether the public sector is ready for the level of change required.

Presentation ERASMUS+ Youth Exchange / EU Green Week Gelderland Day 3Nick van Breda
How can you work on improving society and turn that into your daily work, making 80% of your time an impact and having to work 20% of your time on making a living? I presented some projects I have finished without spending money but making a huge impact using methodologies from my game addiction and from online trading and study background in co-creation. If we want to tackle all SDGs co-creation is going to be more and more important, across borders and as a union in policy making but most of all in turning activism into practivism. Let your deeds speak for you and you will die as a hero.

The next opportunity: GovTech by Daniel KorskiDigital Leaders

It notes that while large vendors have historically dominated the government IT market, new pressures around technology trends and societal changes are driving public sector transformation.

3) Regional differences exist in start-up rates and business dynamics across the UK. Tailored local support policies are needed to foster scaling across different stages of growth in each local economy. Developing leadership skills in small businesses is key to facilitating continued growth.

UKCloud is a UK-based cloud computing company that has experienced strong growth. Traditionally, large enterprises struggled to work with small and medium enterprises (SMEs) due to issues with flexibility and procurement requirements, while SMEs struggled to meet large enterprise demands. However, software-as-a-service (SaaS) and cloud computing are changing this by allowing a more flexible model where specialists can provide individual services to both large enterprises and SMEs using secure application programming interfaces (APIs). The public sector can help drive this new paradigm by continuing initiatives like G-Cloud that enable SMEs to compete on equal terms with large enterprises.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the UK have faced challenges from austerity measures and Brexit over the past 6 years, but working with the government can help drive growth, according to Seth Finegan of Informed Solutions. Only 27% of SMEs currently do business with the government, despite procurement spending of £300 billion in 2015, and most SMEs are unaware of resources like Contracts Finder that can simplify the procurement process. Additionally, just 11% of UK SMEs export beyond the country's borders, but exporting expertise and using government support for international trade could help realize greater potential for SME growth and increase UK exports by £140 billion annually.
