Webinar: The December Deadline: What central government must get right on the data standard
About the event
Fewer than 1 in 10 central government departments have a plan for the Programme and Project Data Standard. Pete Cox says that gap becomes personal by December.
Every department needs a named Senior Responsible Owner and a credible plan for hitting the standard by 2030. It isn't landing alone.
Project Online retires on 30 September, and the Spending Review wants proof that savings are real.
Join Pete Cox and Ross Mardell from Verto online on 27 August to get the plan that answers all three at once.
You will leave able to:
• Check your adoption plan against what the Data Standard actually requires
• Name the gaps your Senior Responsible Owner still needs to close
• Use one plan to cover the Data Standard, the Spending Review and Project Online
You'll know exactly what to put in front of your Permanent Secretary before December. Skip it, and you're still guessing what NISTA or the National Audit Office will ask for.
As Pete puts it: it isn't three fires. It's one fire, and it's the data.
AGENDA:
01 What the Data Standard actually requires
What the Programme and Project Data Standard actually asks for, and why 'compliant from day one' is the test that matters to your Permanent Secretary, the NAO and NISTA.
02 What your adoption plan must document, and who owns it
The practical detail every department needs before December: what a credible adoption plan documents, and where personal accountability sits with a named Senior Responsible Owner.
03 Why Project Online and the Spending Review land at once
Project Online retires on 30 September. The Spending Review wants proof that savings are real. One well-built response to the Data Standard covers both.
04 How to check your own plan before December
A simple way to check your department's plan against what the standard requires, and where most departments are quietly behind without realising it.
