No-one knows which form Brexit will take, and there are many possibilities, so its impact on the wider public sector in the four nations of the UK is hard to pin down. That means government policy on everything from borders to farm payments could be up in the air for years – Brexit complicates life for government CTOs and CDOs. Digital and technology projects linked to policy will have to wait for a clearer picture.
However, there are also reasons to be cheerful. Rather than waiting for the go ahead on projects that may never materialise, CTOs should take the opportunity to fix their underlying IT infrastructures.
