Doing the same thing faster and cheaper is not the opportunity. The opportunity is a platform where agents run whole services and civil servants keep the judgement calls.

Public sector productivity is roughly where it was in 1997, and most AI adoption so far is co-pilots shaving minutes. This talk sets out the platform that lets agents run whole services with people on every decision that matters, shown through a real social care assessment, and the blueprint for getting there.

ElsewhenD60Elsewhen is a London-based digital and AI consultancy that helps organisations become the most effective and productive version of themselves. Since 2011, we have integrated strategy, design, transformation, and engineering to deliver mission-critical outcomes. Today, our AI Productivity Platform helps public sector organisations move from isolated pilots to scalable, agentic systems that deliver measurable productivity gains and lasting social value. We work exclusively with public sector clients through established procurement frameworks including G-Cloud 15, Digital Outcomes and Specialists 7, the Artificial Intelligence DPS, and NEPRO3, and hold Cyber Essentials Plus accreditation. The UK public sector faces a productivity crisis three decades in the making. The OBR estimates that effective AI adoption could unlock £41 billion in savings, and the Tony Blair Institute puts ROI at 9x for every £1 invested. We help government and public bodies capture that opportunity by moving beyond innovation exercises toward systemic, agentic transformation grounded in real data and real outcomes. Our approach is built on four principles: connecting AI directly to proprietary data for accuracy and governance, keeping subject matter experts in the loop at every decision point, building agentic systems that orchestrate end-to-end workflows at scale, and tailoring every solution to the organisation's existing stack so there is no rip and replace. Recognised by the Financial Times as one of the UK's Leading Management Consultants 2025 and among Europe's FT1000 fastest-growing companies, we are trusted by FTSE 100 and S&P 500 leaders including Google, Mastercard, Spotify, Microsoft, Chase, Citi, Tesco, and Bupa.
