For the government workforce
How is government work changing, what capabilities do employees and leaders need, and how do we build them?
The Digital Skills Radar turns that question into a specific development step for every employee, leader and team, on sourced evidence, without your data ever leaving your browser.
- No accounts, no tracking
- Every figure sourced
- For development only, never appraisal

How government work is changing
5 shifts in government work
Pick a shift to see what changes in daily work, and the decision a leader owns this year.
Generative AI in everyday casework
What changes
Drafts of letters, reports and replies to beneficiaries start in a generative AI tool, and staff time moves from writing to reviewing and checking. The question becomes: who reviewed the output, and what data did it rely on?
The skill it asks for: Responsible use of generative AI: framing the request, checking the output and protecting the data put in.
The decision you own this year
Decide where generative AI may and may not be used in your entity, and who reviews every output before it leaves.
What does not change: Accountability for a decision, and the signature on it, stays with the employee and the entity, not the tool.
Decisions based on data
What changes
Every department is expected to back its decisions with trusted data: dashboards, published indicators and data shared across entities. A decision without evidence becomes harder to defend.
The skill it asks for: Reading and governing data: knowing where a figure comes from, its quality and limits, and having an owner for every dataset.
The decision you own this year
Name an owner for every dataset your entity’s decisions rely on, and ask that every figure in leadership briefings cites its source.
What does not change: Data informs a decision but does not make it; weighing interests and values stays the leader’s job.
Services that are measured and published
What changes
Government services are compared in public on satisfaction, ease and time to complete, at home and internationally. The beneficiary’s experience has become a standard the service owner answers for.
The skill it asks for: Designing services around the beneficiary: user research, journey mapping, accessibility, and measuring a service’s success after launch.
The decision you own this year
Pick 3 core services, and give each a named owner and a published indicator you review with them every quarter.
What does not change: A government service is owed to everyone; people who cannot use the digital channel keep an equivalent alternative.
Cybersecurity and privacy as a legal duty
What changes
Protecting data and systems is no longer a technical matter left to one department; it is a legal duty leaders answer for. Every new service needs a privacy assessment and security controls before launch.
The skill it asks for: Security awareness, privacy and personal data protection, security by design, and awareness of digital legislation.
The decision you own this year
Ask for a register of services that process personal data, who reviewed each for compliance, and what remains open with a closing date.
What does not change: Trust is built on candour: naming the risks not yet closed beats general reassurance.
Product-based delivery
What changes
Entities move from projects that end at launch to digital products with a stable team that keeps improving them. Progress is judged by what actually works for the beneficiary, not by estimated completion percentages.
The skill it asks for: Agile ways of working, the product lifecycle, benefits measurement, and technology procurement that pays for outcomes.
The decision you own this year
Turn one digital project this year into a product with a stable team, declared stop conditions and a benefit indicator measured after launch.
What does not change: Financial discipline and accountability for public money stay the same; what changes is when decisions are made, not their standards.
What you get
Printable sheets, not just dashboards
