24th April 2007	Government IT, it's different and it's changing
Speaker 1	John Suffolk - UK Government, Chief Information Officer
Summary	John Suffolk will lead the work of the CIO Council in delivering the Government's strategy for the transformation of public services enabled by technology.  John will also provide leadership to the IT Profession across the wider public sector and enable public service transformation through the strategic deployment of technology which includes driving the use of shared services.  John will also act as the 'face' of UK Government IT both home and abroad.
Feedback	John Suffolk, Her Majesty’s Government, Chief Information Officer provided a very enlightening presentation and discussion with over 30 members of the eBusiness Group on 24 April in Henley . John asked for our initial perceptions of HM Government IT systems and the responses included 'designed by government for government', 'late', 'secretive' and 'disparate'. Through the evening John then presented the approach and challenges to being Citizen centric, Shared services and Professional approach. Video content of the real life cases in schools, police and social services brought many good news stories for us to discuss. We certainly gained great insights to the challenges of driving transformation if we were 'CEOs' in the government system and John transformed our perceptions.
	John Suffolk was appointed Her Majesty's Government Chief Information Officer on the 5th June 2006. Prior to this he was the Director General of Criminal Justice IT (CJIT) from February 2004. He has a background of over 25 years' experience in IT and major transformation programmes. John has worked in the engineering and financial service industries and has extensive experience in delivering IT-enabled change. He has had many and varied roles at Director level, including as a CIO twice in different organisations, as well as Customer Services Director, Operations Director and a Managing Director of a multi-channel £20bn business. His experience of running large, national businesses means John has the track record and insight to lead major IT-enabled transformation programmes which deliver clear business benefits. John is a frequent conference speaker on transformational change and leadership in the UK and abroad. In his spare time he looks after his farm protecting rare breed sheep and pigs.
