Stockport's Digital by Design

Stockport’s take on digital transformation, with its Digital by Design programme, is an in-house approach allowing the council to redesign its online services based on real user feedback and analytics, writes Pam Smith.

I have been trying to get under the skin of Stockport in the weeks and months since becoming chief executive – dropping into libraries, meeting business leaders, taking bus rides.

Naturally, I have also benefitted from the thoughts and advice of councillors and officers from across the public sector. I am already finding plenty to shout about, be it the strength of partnership working that underpins a £1bn remodelling of the Town Centre; Ofsted's recognition of our ‘outstanding' adoption services; or the integrated working between council, NHS and voluntary sector teams at the heart of Stockport Neighbourhood Care.
