How do you embrace innovation in critical situations?

Police, Fire, Ambulance, Maritime and Coastguard, CNI and RNLI crews on the frontline require information and communications technology that makes a fundamental difference to their response times and investigations. But introducing digital innovation into situations where proven reliability is fundamental is a real challenge. Equally, digital transformation is needed in back office environments to enhance operational effectiveness – but how do you achieve this in the face of shrinking budgets and central government cuts?
