Sprint: Cardiff – in partnership with the Welsh Government
Date: Tuesday 14 May 2019
Venue: Cardiff City Stadium
Time: 08:45 – 13:45
Sprint: Cardiff showcased the work of the Welsh Government to develop user-focused digital services, and showed how Wales and the Government Digital Service can work together in the future.
We heard about specific challenges, such as the approach to Welsh-language digital services, and looked at the potential for digital transformation in Wales and across the UK.
What I’m most looking forward to in Sprint: Cardiff is actually meeting up with people who work in the same kind of role as me elsewhere in the Civil Service, find out about what they’re doing and learn about their experiences, good and bad, and hopefully taking some of that learning and applying it to the things that we’re doing here. There’s also a great opportunity to tell people about the things that we’re doing within Welsh Government, and to sing some of our own praises for once.
