Identification of gaps in both to determine if further technology solutions are required and staff development needs. Make proposals for an effective and engaging delivery strategy for automation. Local engagement for 3 discoveries (detailed in "Problem to be solved "section below) with different service areas (each potentially utilising a different type / model of automation). Support and challenge the council in the development of an end to end model for working (Design Thinking, Lean Start Up, Agile and Dev Ops with a multi/inter disciplinary team delivering automated solutions that drive out efficiencies). The end model the council adopt should be repeatable and scalable for future teams to work in this way (not necessarily on automation tools).
