In this podcast PA's Veera Johnson is interviewed on what the private sector can learn from public sector computer system projects.
One of the key points made is that not all public sector technology projects are failures. In the UK the successful projects that are delivered on time and meeting their original targets are rarely celebrated
The lessons that the private sector learn from public sector include the importance of ensuring that all stakeholders are engaged for the whole life of the project, and having leadership from the top to ensure success.
Zanzibar - the eProcurement solution for public sector organisations - is given as an example of the leading-edge work that the UK government is doing around procurement transformation.
