DVSA’s purpose is to help people stay safe on Britain’s roads and deliver their vision for safer drivers, safer vehicles and safer journeys. Each year, DVSA has more than 47 million interactions with users of their services. In 2015, with the help of Emergn, DVSA identified the opportunity to deliver better value to their users and embarked on a journey together, moving towards an enterprise service management model and product-oriented business structure. DVSA followed an incremental change approach, allowing them to gradually change the mindset and culture of their people and put in place an end-to-end operating model around delivering digitally enabled services. This transformed DVSA from a supplier-led to a more user-centred, value-driven and design-focused organisation. In this webinar, Emergn’s Nikos Papadellis (Director of Public Sector), DVSA’s James Munson (CIO) and Alex Fiddes (Programme Delivery Executive) shared their digital business transformation journey and how DVSA: Is transforming into a digitally enabled service organisation Became a leading force in digital and cloud-based services Built their new internal digital delivery capability from scratch Was the first Government agency in the UK to host a large transactional service on AWS Reduced the mean-time-to-production of a release from months to days SHARE: James Munson DIRECTOR OF DIGITAL SERVICES & TECHNOLOGY DVSA James is moving DVSA towards a product business structure, including service and product management, with service backlogs driving the change agenda. Key product innovations are now moving away from long-term outsourced products, with limited flexibility and services where IS had little control, to those developed, delivered and continuously improved in-house in an agile way. James is recognised within the CIO 100 for 2017.
