Get the right people in the room

32. What should you ask?
Use the assessor prompts sheet
• example questions
• clear evidence needed to pass a stage
Try to get to know the service manual
• has great guidance and advice
Is the service similar to another you already use?
Are there points the service has not met yet?
• saves time and embarrassment
Tom Scott GDS
33. What to do next?
Don’t make a decision there and then
Take some time and review the service with fresh eyes
• is it simple enough to use first time
• has it got the look, feel and tone of GOV.UK

• can the service change in the future
Concerns
• check with the Service Manager
• speak to us at GDS

Notes de l'éditeur
Lead discussion on the services linked here
What are the products or services here?
What links them together?
Why have some been more successful?
Which services do you use, why don’t you use the other services?
Have they become a standards used by most?
What do you see when you see these logos?
Do they represent anything at all?
What do people outside the civil service see?
Why are they so different?
To most people outside government this is how they see all those departments, they have limited interaction with the politics but regularly access to services and information.
What does this symbol represent to you?
to ensure that services are simpler, clearer, faster for users and based on data and feedback
to establish a Digital by Default culture
create a single domain for government
build digital leadership and capability in the Civil Service
