Cabinet Office opts for temporary digital head
Number 10 has appointed the current interactive director of the soon-to-be defunct Central Office of Information (COI), Nick Jones, as interim head of digital for the Prime Minister’s office and the Cabinet Office.
Jones had previously worked in the Cabinet Office’s transformational government team, where he focused on developing Web 2.0-enabled government services.
Prior to joining the public sector he worked as an analyst with Jupiter Research and on trade magazines. He has also helped the Government of Bermuda establish its department for e-government.
The temporary nature of Jones’ appointment reflects the uncertainty over the future digital government agenda, following the decision in June 2011 to scrap the COI.
