About

Digital by Default Academy provides training and coaching to help public servants and employees of large, established organisations embrace internet-era ways of working. All of the offerings are grounded in the lived experiences of our experienced coaches who have delivered agile, user-centred, open approaches across the public sector and beyond.


This isn't theoretical or based on advice better suited to start-ups or internet giants. It is hard earned advice based on two decades of experience doing digital in risk averse bureaucracies.

Coaching


What we do


In our coaching sessions, we look at where you are in your career and where you want to go professionally.

We help you remove any blockers to those ambitions and assist you in identifying development opportunities and broaden your network to support you in achieving those goals.


We can help you navigate the politics and hidden pathways of large bureaucracies that so often prevent talented individuals reaching their potential.


What you'll get


Coaching can help you:


  • articulate your ambitions and challenges,
  • provide new perspectives, insights and approaches,
  • broaden your network and community,
  • provide a guide to the dark arts of organisational politics,
  • grow confidence and embrace new opportunities.
