https://lnkd.in/eYsyhKqn I'm excited - and a bit daunted - to be speaking at this event. Twenty minutes to 'describe a digital strategy to improve the lives of citizens'. Twenty minutes! I'm relishing the time challenge with this one. Is the innovation the technology? Or the ambitions that tech helps achieve? Or the people driving the ambitions? Or all of the above? Twenty minutes, mind. And 10 of those are Q&A. I'm drawn to consider - and conclude - on how we shift mindsets across and within sectors. Twenty minutes! #DigitalInclusion
