Tom Loosemore
1. Simplicity
GDS
“Simplicity is the end.
Digital is just the means.”
GDS
2. Iteration
GDS
“Iteration has profound implications
for policy design.”
GDS
3. Transformation
GDS
“We’ve had a paper-based
government since around the 12th
century.”
GDS
“Now, for the first time, we are in a
position to build digital foundations:
made of data not paper, holding up
platforms not silos.”
GDS
GDS
These new digital foundations are
Government as a Platform.
Tom Loosemore
GDS
…new foundations comprise of
shared tools, well-managed data, all
glued together by open standards.
