How public service start-ups could transform Britain for the better
In the battlefield of IT provisions it is always good to be reminded of what we start-ups have over the public sector and large private companies. We thrive on the competition from big organisations and see the challenge they bring as a positive way to improve our business. This confidence is partly due to the knowledge of the advantages we hold.
Paul Miller, education evangelist and CEO of School of Everything, puts it well.
“Start-ups can find ways of connecting with public services by coming up with new ideas. But they are also small enough to talk directly to their users, learning how to improve their service day-by-day – something that the public sector struggles with because of the bureaucracy of change.”
“The capital efficiency [of start-ups] in creating innovation is unrivalled by anything in the public sector.”
