Smarter digital recruitment
Choices about how to use the web were once the realm of communications teams, and held little interest for senior decision makers.
No longer. Councils of all sizes now realise that they need to re-structure themselves around the realities of the internet age.
This can mean making difficult decisions about digital leadership roles and delivery functions. mySociety will help you make the right calls to structure and staff your digital team appropriately.
-
Smarter digital procurement
No-one can see the future – that’s why investing in big new technologies can feel like a jump into the unknown. With every prospective contractor telling you that they have the answer, how do you know you won’t be taken for a ride?
mySociety will help you make better procurement decisions, and can teach your organisation the skills needed to make better decisions in the future.
In short, we remove pain and risk from the procurement process.

Bringing citizens closer to government
The internet offers almost limitless possibilities for two-way communication with your populace – we will show you where to begin.
We have a long track record in building civic software. We understand how to give citizens easy access to democratic processes and government decision-making – even on a limited budget.
Wherever you feel that services could be improved by offering an onine interface, we can advise. Plus we can help gather views and opinions from the public to produce actionable intelligence for your decision makers. We make sure the process is rewarding for your citizens, too.
-
Quality design and user experience
Are your websites and apps so enjoyable that citizens come away feeling positive about their interaction with their council? Excellent design and usability can ensure that happens – every time.
High quality user experiences start at the planning stage. We’ll assist with your first concepts – or we can come in at any stage of your build, to provide wireframes, mockups, front-end design or even entire functioning web and mobile applications.
-
Measuring value
Governments offer a huge range of online services, and it can be hard to assess whether or not the technologies you’ve invested in are making a difference.
mySociety will help you develop an understanding of what success looks like, and how it can be measured in the digital realm.
-
A fresh look at processes
We always start with the people who are using your technologies. Every process we recommend, every system we develop has high usability as its number one priority.
For governments, there are two types of equally important user: your citizens, who need simple access to your services; and your internal staff, whose jobs can be made more rewarding with the right application of technology.
We will help modify or create new business processes that are productive for all your stakeholders.
