start with a robust, scalable and
sustainable platform. Secondly, public
cloud service platforms are faster,
more secure, more affordable and
simply better in all regards than
anything a government agency could
ever hope to build or own,” says
Hodgkinson. Platform+Agile is the
opposite of the usual government
approach which sees each application
and system as a unique, one-off event.
“The fundamental mindset of
Platform+Agile is that each application
inherits as much as possible of the
standard and common functionality
of the platform, says Hodgkinson.
“Each application is not unique, rather
it’s a variation of things that already
exist. That enables us to start projects
quickly and cheaply, and then to
deliver a minimal viable product much
more rapidly than otherwise possible,
getting feedback from real users and
iterating based on that. That simple
process is itself the most important
accelerant of digital transformation.
It is all about increasing the cadence of
project delivery to fuel a compounding
organizational learning effect.”
