- 39. Seven Point Plan 1. You will be a digital business in 3 - 5 years - the question is how and how fast 2. This is a digital strategy that drives digital inclusion: achieving efficiency and quality for everyone 3. Think about your existing headline KPIs and how digital is going to help you to achieve those 4. Understand your digitally excluded residents and target them 5. This is a change programme not a technology project 6. You need action in all three of the main barriers to take- up: Motivation; Skills & Confidence; and Access 7. Start quickly - make small changes as soon as you can, and don’t delay. Small actions help big change happen.
