b'In the final interview hosted at the OneTeamGov Global event in London, we're incredibly excited to speak to Tom Loosemore, co-founder of the Government Digital Service (GDS) and partner at Public Digital. We get the inside story on how GDS radically disrupted the workings of U.K government and started a worldwide movement to bring public services into the internet age.We chat to Tom about his early career at Wired and the BBC, and how he co-authored the report with Martha Lane Fox that kick-started the government digital movement. We hear fascinating tales from the early days of GDS, chat about his favourite exemplars, and look to a future of services underpinned by data registers and platforms.Tom also shares inspiring examples of ambitious service transformation from around the world, and explains why the biggest learnings often come from mistakes. All aboard the Loosemore dinghy, let's sail off into his story!'
