Minutes:
The committee
received a report of the Corporate Director Digital and Change with regard to
the draft digital vision for Dorset Council.
The report set out the
many areas of activity and the committee was asked to support the development of
the Digital Vision and through reviewing the areas of focus from the Digital
and ICT Executive Advisory Panel (EAP), assist with the development of an
action plan to support its delivery. It
was noted that a further report would be brought to the committee in February
2021 once the work had been completed, to subsequently recommend the adoption
of the digital vision and action plan by Cabinet in April 2021.
An overview of the work
was provided by the Corporate Director and Portfolio Holder for Corporate
Development and Change.
Councillors
discussed the issues arising from the report and particular reference was made
to the need for further review of the council’s website, arrangements for
monitoring once the vision had been agreed, links with external partners and
connectivity issues including work required with hard to reach areas. The committee welcomed the report and the
work that had been undertaken.
It was proposed by
L Fry seconded by C Jones
