Scaling Operational Teams with AI – from expectations to reality through experimentation
A Talk by Jack Collier , Nina Jones , Hans Cayley and Kevin Draisey
About this Talk
The Department for Education (DfE) has an ambition to support all schools in England and Wales to buy better. The problem is, how do you scale a specialised, human-driven procurement service across all schools in the country?
With this challenge in mind, Transform set up an experimental ‘Lab’ for the Department for Education’s Buying for Schools programme to explore the opportunities of AI over 6 weeks.
In this webinar, Transform and DfE will partner up to trace back how the AI Lab started and what it’s achieved. We’ll share insights on the outcomes and key learnings, as well as discuss next steps and explore the broader applications of this approach for government.
Key take aways will be:
- How to go from a problem to exploring the art of possible and find a solution
- The importance of experimenting with AI
- How we set up the AI Lab and what can be done with it
- How we navigated challenges and tackled complex processes
- How government can benefit from this approach
