S2 E4 - Digital Government: a 2025 reality check with Vijay K Luthra

What Digital Transformation for Government Means in 2025Today, my guest is Vijay Luthra. Vijay is the managing partner of CEVA Global in the UK, and he works to help government organizations in the UK and UAE to develop digital transformation strategies. Given the pace of change, particularly in the US, it's hard to say how long our conversation will remain relevant. It's hard to talk about the political side of government without taking sides, but we did our best to avoid thatVijay is, in his words, a former public servant and a recovering politician. He works in social enterprise and has deep expertise in healthcare and transformation. Today we decided to talk about what digital transformation for government means in the chaos that is early 2025.Resource Links:Vijay K Luthra LinkedInCEVA Global Website | LinkedInVUCA: volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity Harvard Busness Review | WikipediaThe National Programme for Information Technology ( NPfIT )Making IT work: harnessing the power of health information technology to improve care in EnglandThe UK's National Programme for IT: Why was it dismantled?Marshall McLuhanThe medium is the messageThe Medium is the Massage: An Inventory of Effects (1967) Marshall McLuhan & Quentin Fiore Amazon CA | IndigoDan Honig -  Mission Driven Bureaucrats | Amazon CADemis HassabisPress release: The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2024Recorded: Feb, 2025This is a show about the people that make digital public service work.
