I agree and also I don't.

Because 2012 me absolutely thought he was part of an identifiable movement for exactly that.

But 2026 me has to accept that it did not translate into much more than shinier digital practice with limited impact on the actual art of governing (at least in this country).
When I joined the Government Digital Service (GDS) in May 2012 I felt incredibly lucky. I became part of a movement with a mission to transform government. For me, the opportunities offered by technology were not about shiny new interfaces or misty-eyed enthusiasm for the latest gadgets. The mission of GDS was far more profound: transforming lives and reshaping the very fabric of how to govern. Those beliefs weren’t new. Long before GDS existed, I’d been captivated by the promise of the Internet as a force for good, powered by the amazing GovCamp community (my first was LocalGovCamp Lincoln in 2009). In 2010 I wrote my MSc dissertation (Doing I.T. Ourselves: Citizen-produced websites and their relationship to public services) on how public services were being reshaped by citizens themselves. In response to the news of GDS’ creation I wrote AlphaLocalGov (May 2011) and then Government as a Local Platform (February 2012) So, it was pretty clear that I believed that embracing digital principles could help government become more open, more responsive, more trusted, more effective, and more attuned to the needs of its citizens (ideas I got to write up in The impact of digital government on citizen well-being, May 2019). So when I joined GDS, I saw the mission as far more than building a better website. Being part of the ‘digital centre’ was to be part of advocating for a transformation in the relationship between the state and its people. The strength of the “Better for Less” argument wasn’t solely about efficiency; it was about governing better, to genuinely improve lives and build a society where trust in public institutions was strengthened through transparency and accountability. But maybe my personal perspective was always overly optimistic. Excerpt from https://ukdgr.wel.by/evolution-revolution-reformation-what-next-for-digital-government-in-the-uk/

Want to help the movement and also have fun at the same time? Go outside BlueSky to where MAGA is and accuse every MAGA directly of having GDS (Gavin Derangement Syndrome)

Important: don’t argue or listen to their points. Just say they have GDS and mock them about it until they cry ♥️🤍💙

"I think demonstrating humility and generosity will help the [new digital centre that is GDS] be more effective, particularly at reaching across traditional fault lines"

connectedbydata.org/blog/2024/10...
I think demonstrating humility and generosity will help the centre be more effective, particularly at reaching across traditional fault lines, such as into devolved administrations, local government, arms length bodies, the NHS, the big digital departments DWP and HMRC, and into non-digital professions, for public-sector-wide transformation. Think more like community and movement building than top down waving of big sticks.
