How we can help:
Trusted advisor
Having an experienced local government digital leader available to you whenever you need it doesn’t have to cost the earth!
Consulting
Sometimes you need a package of work from a consultancy to deliver a range of benefits quickly. We can work with you to design a programme that delivers exactly what you need, including strategy, operating model design, or something else I can’t think of right now.
Learning
Learning is vital to embed digital culture and ways of working. We have a range of training and development tools and content available for you to adapt and use, including our dedicated skills audit platform, Skillstats.

About Dave
Localise is led by Dave Briggs, an experienced and well-regarded voice in local government digital, data and IT for over 15 years.
Dave adopts a practical attitude to the problems and opportunities he comes across with the organisations we work with. This is rooted in his experience of success and occasional failure in achieving outcomes from transformational change.

For me, Dave talks the language that everybody understands, cutting through the jargon and making sense of a digital world that becomes harder each day to keep up with. His understanding of the challenges that local authorities face and what you can do about them is second to none.
Steve Bennett, Change and Digital Manager, Hart District Council
What we bring:
Understanding
Everything we do is rooted in the local context of your organisation and the people you serve. Every piece of work we complete involved taking time to understand what you need to do and why.
Innovation
We’ve got a handle on the best practice within the sector, but we also have our own ideas on how things could be even better. There’s nothing we like more than to work with organisations to reimagine how things can work.
Collaboration
Localise is committed to working in the open, sharing what we do so as many people can benefit from it as possible. We also actively seek to encourage collaboration across our customer base, to. ensure wheels are only invented once.
Pragmatism
We are proud of our pragmatism. We know that in local public services, compromise is always necessary, and our non-dogmatic approach will mean that you get the right blend of quality practice that works within your constraints.

As soon as I took on the head of digital role I reached out to Dave. From his technical understanding to his wide reaching network if he doesn’t know something, he’ll know someone who does. Best of all Dave is deeply pragmatic. He’s got the T-shirt, he knows how small budgets, capability gaps and challenging colleagues impact on delivery – esp in a council such as Woking. In a digital world with a lot of noise, Dave helps find the signal.

Dave provides much-needed sense and pragmatism in the complex local government digital landscape. He quickly picks up strategic requirements and challenges, and is filled with great ideas that also consider the ‘on the ground’ reality.
