Building In-House Digital Capability in the Public Sector



In the face of a digital skills shortage, public sector organisations must focus on building in-house digital capabilities to thrive in an increasingly tech-driven landscape. The article from UKAuthority emphasizes that relying on external consultants for digital expertise is not a sustainable solution. Instead, public entities should look to recruit local talent, foster internal training programs, and develop clear career progression paths to retain skilled employees.

One of the significant challenges highlighted is the competitive salary landscape; public sector organisations often struggle to match the private sector's financial incentives. To counter this, they must create appealing work environments that attract talent based on purpose and impact rather than solely on salary.

Moreover, the importance of soft skills cannot be overlooked. Effective communication, teamwork, and adaptability are essential traits that should be nurtured within teams. Fostering a culture of continuous learning and collaboration will not only improve individual performance but also enhance overall organisational effectiveness.

The article concludes that investing in digital capabilities is not just about acquiring technical skills; it is about creating a resilient workforce prepared for future challenges. Public sector organisations can ensure sustainable success by prioritising in-house development and fostering a culture of growth.
