Additions:
We spend �16bn-�21bn a year on public sector IT. The country is in debt somewhere between �800bn and �2tr (depending on whether you count pensions, PFI liabilities etc). We can't spend more on IT. But smarter IT remains a powerful way to save the 100x larger sums we need to save. So all ideas welcome:
- bring public sector senior salaries (and remuneration packages for those on contracts rather than on the books) into line with being at the 80% percentile (max) of the private sector equivalent, [[http://www.rankingbyseo.com/link-building-services.html link building]]or at no more than the remuneration of the Prime Minister. To pay public sector CIOs as much as �350K per annum + costs + benefits is out or proportion to both the public service ethic, the value of the role and private sector equivalents.
- take small pots of savings (�10-�50K) and encourage rapid open-source innvoation and development/prototyping to show the art of the possible and to encourage new ways of doing things more efficiently and differently. This should feed into a sourceforge for public sector -sharing not only software but also experiences of what does and does now work on a wider scale, including effective change and project management

=====Next steps=====
- freeze all existing rolling contracts: if the IT already in use today does what it needs to do, why pay for rolling upgrades etc? Sweat the assets
- stop paying for software/hardware that does not interoperate with other systems. Seek fixes where required, or financial restitution where appropriate.
- open up all public govt data (ONS, etc). Where this impacts existing trading funds, the small amounts involved can be offset by removing cost overheads (such as axing unnecessary/costly quangos) and using money saved there to adjust budgets accordingly
- undertake "Obama-like" rapid reviews of key areas (cybersecurity, identity, trust, software, hardware, consultancy) on a rapid 60-90 day rolling programme. Identify programmes that can be axed, those that can be frozen, those that can be repurposed and those that are genuinely good and need to become examplars
- bring public sector consultancy costs into line with those of the private sector (City rates have been slashed, but Whitehall continues to pay well over the odds for dubious quality)
- bring public sector senior salaries (and remuneration packages for those on contracts rather than on the books) into line with being at the 80% percentile (max) of the private sector equivalent, or at no more than the remuneration of the Prime Minister. To pay public sector CIOs as much as £350K per annum + costs + benefits is out or proportion to both the public service ethic, the value of the role and private sector equivalents.
- review IT-related quangos. Axe those that are over-sized and serve little purpose (eg Becta - education IT standards should be encompased by overall strategic standards for the public sector). Identify those that have a conflict of interest (eg Ofcom, which is both policymaker and regulator) and adjust responsibilities and remuneration packages accordingly.
- take small pots of savings (£10-£50K) and encourage rapid open-source innvoation and development/prototyping to show the art of the possible and to encourage new ways of doing things more efficiently and differently. This should feed into a sourceforge for public sector -sharing not only software but also experiences of what does and does now work on a wider scale, including effective change and project management
- identify inefficient policies/IT systems (such as new tax credits) which continue to lose billions annually and replace with more efficient tax/welfare policies and systems that can achieve the same intended outcomes without the costly overheads)
