Chi Onwurah MP talks about her 23 year career as an electrical engineer and some of the projects she worked on, her work as Shadow Minister for Science, Research and Digital, and why we need more women in STEM to move into politics. #FAC20 patreon.com/posts/51190691
Latest blog post covers the Public Accounts Committee inquiry into Challenges In Implementing Digital Change, Consciously Hybrid and a question to CDDO @DavinsonJoanna on what the thoughts are on the varied perspectives in this thread teapaw.org/rowlando/status/144173…
Suggestion: formally detach the DDaT function from Civil Service pay controls. From where I sit, hiring people for technical roles has gone from hard to harder and awkward pay rules are not helping.
However, I think fixing the root cause would be worth thinking about. Someone suggested to me why not formally detach the DDaT function from Civil Service pay controls? Seems like a brilliant idea.
