For our latest Council Spotlight, we visited Birmingham City Council to gain insights into the development, the benefits and the next steps for their Guardian App.

Birmingham City Council were awarded funding through the Local Digital Fund in 2022 to help develop the application into a Private Beta.

The mobile app is designed to allow their 3000 field workers to be assigned and self-assign jobs with instant access to relevant, sensitive information.

In partnership with Amazon Web Services and SOCITM, we delivered the first module of the Executive Education Programme on Wednesday 8 February.

A brilliant group of speakers joined us, sharing valuable insights from a leadership perspective and exploring the highs and lows of digital transformation!

The next module will take place on 22 February on Microsoft Teams and will focus on upskilling and future-proofing your organisation.
