The Departments told us that the departmental moves had been supported by a new digital inter–ministerial group (IMG) which provides greater focus and links the work with wider cross–government work on public service reform and the government’s missions.66 DSIT emphasised that this was about “about having multiple members of the Cabinet really focused on the change agenda for Government on digital services” and “a very significant step up in ministerial engagement on the digital transformation of government”.67 The Cabinet Office also observed that the IMG is providing improved strategy, prioritisation and join–up, “saying, ‘let us prioritise and set the strategy so that the sum of the parts delivers the greatest bang for the buck’”.68 When we questioned DSIT on how it would influence departments across government and deliver on its role to support AI adoption across the public sector, witnesses told us that clear political leadership and prioritisation was key to driving co–ordination across departments and enabling effective delivery.69
