The good Scottish - Danish dialogue on digitising the public sector was cemented yesterday at the Digital Scotland conference when permanent secretary JP Marks CB and Digital Councillor Sidsel Bülow Skovborg exchanged views on how to keep public services at the forefront of the digital revolution. The conversation was brilliantly chaired by Kim McAllister. Scotland seems to be in a great position to bring in significant digital change and there are definite parallels to the process Denmark has been going through as well as inspiration on SME involvement to take back to Denmark.
