Introducing Smart Working

Key areas of smart working

Key areas of smart working include:

• Maximising our current technology
• Making best use of our physical spaces
• Understanding how our systems and processes can support us all to work more flexibly

Moving to phase 2

Phase 1 of smart working was ‘when and where we work’. We are now moving focus to phase 2: ‘how’ we work.

Meeting our strategic objective should enable us to:

• Meet our demand better
• Work much more proactively with communities (people helping people)
• Make smarter decisions about use of resources (commercial)
• Achieve our ambitions to become a smart county
• Develop Digital Champion network to embed new technology and ways of working

Digital is supporting Smart Working to equip us with the right tools to make us a Smart Council and Digital First.

The next step within the Smart Working programme is the implementation of Office 365 across the county council.
