Digital Strategy Consultation Feedback report.
Members asked about the high score of 9 on the risk register, and it was noted that capacity and finance is a risk to all services and that cyber security is a constant challenge to maintain and mitigate. Members also noted the importance of digital technology, whilst considering the needs of an ageing population. It was noted that the service should be designed with the end user experience in mind, involving public testing and feedback, and that the strategy looks to set up user groups to improve engagement and consultation. It was also noted that a presentation would be given to the Democratic Services Committee to ensure Councillors have a better understanding of Artificial Intelligence.
Following a vote, it was unanimously RESOLVED to approve the Digital Strategy 2024-2030.
