How to apply the Digital Code of Practice to your work
The Digital Code of Practice (DCOP) is a companion guidebook for all public service employees and contractors involved in and accountable for digital service delivery, including those in technical, policy and decision-making roles. The 10 practices provide practical guidance on using technology and digital services to transform government operations and deliver improved services to people in B.C.
We hope teams will use the DCOP in many ways, including:
- Guiding strategic planning, solution analysis and problem solving within business areas and product teams
- Assessing the alignment of a digital product or service with the direction of a current digital government
- Highlighting and connecting public service employees with guidance, learning opportunities and case studies that can support them in implementing practices
- Increasing accountability and clarifying the expectations for digital services
- A reference when preparing business cases and a funding request
- Supporting decision making and prioritization in ministries and for the Deputy Ministers’ Committee on Digital and Data
Assess your team’s strengths and explore growth opportunities
For B.C. government employees only: Introduce your team to the Digital Code of Practice and how it can be used to support the work you do. Designed for all teams involved in or supporting digital service delivery, our facilitation kits provide everything you need to run a one-hour DCOP workshop with your team.
