Recently, we at Code for Australia were featured on the awesome podcast, CivicTech.Chat. In this episode Ryan Koch talked to researcher Lara Stephenson about our program for enhancing digital maturity in government, the Digital Maturity Indicator.

What is the Digital Maturity Indicator (DMI)?
The DMI is a tool Code for Australia developed from a model made by the Harvard Kennedy School in the US, which leverages research and expertise in digital government from around the world and applies it to an Australian context.
We measure government agencies’ current levels of digital maturity across six markers, and then we co-design and prioritise actions to help government improve their digital maturity over time. Read more below if you want to get into the nitty-gritty👇.

“Small changes that you could do next week can set you up for a big change in six months, rather than trying to tackle that big change… Sometimes in the middle of a problem, it’s so hard to see the way out. But you can get out with some really small, actionable steps that build on each other and grow.”

In digital maturity terms, sharing is definitely caring.
Our conversation touches on what we did to make the model more suited to the Australian context, and about the what, why and how of the DMI. Ryan opened up topics with us including:
- the importance of executive support
- how to embed learning from specialist contractors on projects
- getting clarity on the meaning of digital terms across an agency
- what are the biggest challenges running the DMI
- handling difficult conversations around digital maturity
- the future of the DMI in Australia, and
- how to make the DMI work in other countries

“In the future, we would love to keep running the DMI with more and more departments, and have state-wide benchmarks of agencies, to help agencies see where they’re at …It’s all about sharing ways that work for a more efficient, effective government.”
