However the action plan that supported this strategy to prioritise these opportunities address how by whom and when they should be implemented or establish what additional operational resource would be required to deliver the Strategy has lapsed since the Digital Board closed. Five years on an updated Strategy is now required that accurately reflects the rapid adoption of digital technology in 2020 and post pandemic changes in Council staff working practices how residents and communities expect to engage with u, and how service and staff needs have evolved and in what ways. In response a new five year Digital Data and Technology DDAT Strategy and implementation plan is proposed.
