About Working Together

James I could not agree with you more about the public sector and the opportunity for innovation using new technology .We launched a new service in 2005 designed to help citizens communicate with their local authority and police forces using their mobile phones. It has been met with considerable enthusiasm and thankfully our first reference customers.

In 2003, when spending on IT solutions was probably at its lowest, particularly from companies in whose hiring needs Prospect specialises, i.e early stage enterprises, I kept hearing speeches about the potential of technology to transform the citizen's experience of public services.

On 7th March a group of interested and interesting folk gathered at Soho House to kick off a conversation about Working2gether.

Everyone seemed to agree that getting SME's more involved is a good thing but many people were interested in talking the difficulties that SME's have in securing work from Government and in putting forward ideas for how to make it easier.

I went around the bar at the beginning of the evening to record what people had come to talk about.
