A mid-morning thought on what makes designing a set of digital era skills for government leaders especially tricksy.
Different digital era disciplines like design, data analysis, coding or product management, are like little black holes. They & #39;want& #39; to pull students deep into each one, to learn all about them.
That& #39;s because each one is a rich, fascinating discipline filled with amazing people who love to share their knowledge and skills.
So as I range across the world of government digital teaching, I see quite a lot of people being taught one or two digital era skills very deeply - data science for example.
The problem is that real government problems only be solved when we bring all these skills, and more, together, not just one or two specialisms. That& #39;s why multidisciplinary teams are so critical to modern public service.
To lead such teams we need people who have a shallow but wide understanding of lots of digital era skills, as well as plenty of traditional public service skills.
