A new unit has been formed to develop digital skills across Scotland’s public and third sectors.

The digital capability advisory group was created by the Digital Office for Scottish Local Government and the Scottish Digital Academy.

The group will share knowledge, data, and insights from across its member organisations and provide guidance on issues like professional learning.

It will also encourage collaboration on procurement, funding, and resource-sharing to scale digital solutions and improve efficiency across organisations.

The head of the Scottish Digital Academy, Lee Dunn, said: ‘We’re all aware of the challenges that the public sector faces over the next few years and the need to continue to improve digital public services.

‘The advisory group is one approach that we’re taking to bring organisations together to align direction, coordinate effort and share resources.’
