There’s no shortage of ambition in the public sector when it comes to digital transformation. Leaders are clear on the outcomes they want: better services, better use of data, and systems that actually support staff.
But when it comes to starting the journey, things often get stuck.
Sometimes it’s budget. Sometimes it’s fear of disruption. Sometimes it’s not knowing what’s already in place or how to make sense of it.
At Ghyston, we see this all the time. In fact, we’d argue that one of the biggest barriers to transformation isn’t the technology itself. It’s the lack of visibility around it.
The value is already there
Most organisations we work with already have a tangle of tools, platforms and processes. That’s not a criticism. It’s the reality of years of operational pressure, fast fixes and shifting policies.
The good news is that your current tech stack often contains more value than you think.
We’ve helped councils spot duplication across departments, reframe compliance projects into product opportunities, and connect systems that previously didn’t talk to each other. It’s not always about building something new. Sometimes it’s about using what you’ve got in a smarter way.
The Hampshire County Council project is a great example. What started as a legal obligation turned into a scalable platform that other councils could benefit from. It didn’t happen overnight. But it started with a clear-eyed review of their current state and a conversation about what else might be possible.
So where should you begin?
Not with a strategy document. Not with a procurement process. But with a conversation.
That’s why we’re offering a free Tech Review. It’s a short, focused session with our consultancy team, designed to help you take stock of where you are and where you could go next.
It’s not a sales pitch. It’s a practical way to:
- Get clarity on your current systems and data landscape
- Identify quick wins and hidden risks
- Explore where efficiencies, integrations or even revenue opportunities might sit
No obligation. No jargon. Just a trusted partner helping you take the first step.
