ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the development of Smart Flexibility in the government sector in the UK. As well as having an impact on how government organises its own working practices, the practice of Smart Flexibility also has impacts on areas of public policy such as economic development and planning future settlements in other words how we live and work now and in the future. However, the time is here for more radical and thorough-going change, in part because of significant reductions in headcount, but mostly because it is possible to do so much more in terms of using new technologies and changing the culture of work. We are here at a transitional stage in terms of flexible contract work in the public sector. If banks can do it, and if we can accept this way to handle our money, then there must be ways to deal with other sensitive information across networks.
