Recommendation 11

Digital advisers with legacy experience most valuable for educating senior leaders on digital matters.
Recommendation
The use of advisers and non-executive directors with digital experience in board roles in departments is an excellent way of educating senior leaders in digital matters. Around half of current postholders consider they have digital expertise. However, those with a background in similar legacy environments to government will be of most value as they will be best placed to understand how digital developments interact with government’s complex operational environment.22 Digital skills shortages
