Although I couldn’t make it there personally we had a great event at Security and Policing meeting some fabulous people from Border Force and other parts of government, in the U.K. and abroad. Lots of interest in how we have helped Border Force improve national security and operational efficiency. If you didn’t attend but would like to find out more, do get in touch.

?? A great night at the Computing DevOps Excellence Awards 2025! We're thrilled that Emily S was 'highly commended' in the DevOps Rising Star of the Year category. We're incredibly proud of her journey and achievements at Zaizi. Also, a huge shoutout to Hasitha H., whose nomination for?‘DevOps Professional of the Year’ shows the incredible expertise we have at Zaizi. Our chief people officer Tracey Robinson, MCIPD Robinson said: “I couldn’t be more proud of Emily and Hasitha.” “Emily came to us as a graduate?not knowing what she wanted to do, so to see her thrive at Zaizi and be promoted twice gives me immense pleasure. Hasitha has been an unsung hero for all things devops at Zaizi for many years, so it’s great to see him nominated for this prestigious award. “Both Hasitha and Emily live and breathe our values here at Zaizi, especially when it comes to Passion: they enthuse and inspire others, they love what they do and they always want to do better. And they truly both do exceptional things! “Their success is a testament to our commitment to realising potential — we provide training and support that empowers our people to become experts in their fields and gain skills that are in high demand.” It was a fantastic evening celebrating innovation and talent within the DevOps community. Well done to all the finalists and winners! #DevOpsExcellenceAwards #ZaiziLife

Day 2 at the 7th Public Sector Innovation Conference rightly focused on AI First Public Services, centred around three key pillars to delivering Pat McFadden's (The Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster) ambition for Government and the state to be “more like a start up”. The conference sessions explored how AI can bring about change, but emphasised that its implementation must be efficient, effective, and equitable. My favourite session was “Efficient: AI for Streamlined Operations" which involved discussions on using AI to automate tasks, optimise resources, and cut costs in the civil services. The grounding highlighted by The University of Cornell’s work on “superintelligence” was thought provoking. Particularly in the broader examination of AI's societal impact, rather than solely focusing on the hypothetical development of superintelligent machines. It was mentioned how the work of the think tank Reform underscores that AI adoption is not just a technological challenge, but a cultural one. Overcoming cultural barriers through effective leadership, communication, training, and ethical considerations is essential for successful AI implementation. Culture will be key for the civil service to get this right. A real buzz on more predictive analytics in healthcare, excited for GDS (version 2) sprint in local government and to re-visit fixing the plumbing with AI. As an open source organisation, it was endearing to hear Meta raise the potential of open source large language models to help tackle the silos in government. In my time within government, delivering felt harder, albeit now it's generally exciting to see how we can harness the power of AI to build a future of public services that are not only innovative, but truly serve everyone effectively and equitably.

We had the pleasure of hosting Border Force Director General Phil Douglas at our stand today (speaking here with our very own Robert Smart). He heard about Zaizi's work with government organisations and checked out our interactive ScanApp Lego demo. He had high praise for ScanApp and said frontline staff love what it’s helping them do.

Day two at Security and Policing 2025 begins. Coffee in hand on Day one here which was really informative and enjoyable. I attended a speaker session on Digital Data and Techology led by Bas Javid. It focused on how we are working and forming partnership across the globe to ensure that together and in partnership to address and help halt human trafficking #transformation #legalprocess #humanity #doingtherightthing #keepingtheuksafe Zaizi

Lots to see and get around at Security and Policing 2025. Just attended a great session on Digital, Data and Technology led by Katie Gardiner outlining how transformation and digitalisation are driving forward to deliver the capabilities to ensure UK Policing has the tools to fight complex crime working in partnership with police forces and private industry. #police #homeoffice #digitaltransformation #digitaloutcomes #katiegardinerhomeoffice @ zaizi

That’s a wrap for day 1! This week heralds Digital Leaders’ 7th Public Sector AI Week for public sector professionals and technology enthusiasts alike. It comes hot off the back of calls to reform the Civil Service (again). Neither the recommendations on accountability and performance are new, whether they are executed this time round remains to be seen. The reform calls are a contrast to some of the topics and recent research highlighted during the session I attended today on AI. The emphasis was more on quality and fairer practices. For example, the Good Work Charter from the Institute for the Future of Work “sets out ten fundamental principles of ‘good work’ – work that promotes dignity, autonomy and equality; work that has fair pay and conditions; work where people are properly supported to develop their talents and have a sense of community.” We recognise the importance of working with government to grow human capability, especially when a significant portion of public sector services remain under-digitised. Specifically, 47% of central government and 45% of NHS services lack digital pathways, relying heavily on manual processing. Be it designing, delivering and sustaining digital services at pace while building the human capability in your teams or contemplating what AI or transformation means to your organisation, Zaizi can help with both via our transformation days and other services, just get in touch.

Our team will be at stand B142 at the UK Home Office Security & Policing 2025 event in Farnborough this week. Be sure to visit our stand to meet our team and explore some fun, cool and innovative things on display. Want to know more about what Zaizi does?
