The Event
We are this year’s Think Women in Digital Government Partners, bringing together public sector leaders to discuss the future of digital government, collaboration and service delivery.
Our Government Services Director, Amanda Payne, will be speaking on the MISSION COLLABORATE panel, exploring how cross-government working can move from ambition to practical delivery.
Date: 17/03/2026
The conversation
This year’s government agenda is mission-led. But mission-led government demands something different.
It demands shared ownership.
Interoperable systems.
Aligned incentives.
Clear governance.
And trust.
That’s the focus of the MISSION COLLABORATE, a live panel discussion exploring how cross-government working can move from aspiration to edoexecution at this year's Think Women in Digital Government.
Amanda Payne, Government Services Director at GAIN, joins senior voices from across the public sector, including leaders from the National Audit Office, Ordnance Survey and HMRC, to explore what collaboration really looks like in practice.
Expect a candid, wide-ranging discussion spanning strategy, technology, culture and accountability.
Why this matters
Cross-government working isn’t a new ambition, but the scale and urgency of today’s missions mean the stakes are higher than ever.
When collaboration fails, progress stalls. When it succeeds, transformation accelerates.
As GAIN’s public sector lead, Amanda brings a perspective grounded in delivery, helping departments align around shared outcomes, design systems that work across silos, and translate strategy into measurable impact.
