34 Convening and collaboration on digital transformation
Founding members of DSAG
Digital transition will support the most important challenges, such as
meeting net zero goals
and diversify our network of experts, reaching out especially to start-ups and SMEs who are champions of innovation.
“Identifying emerging trends means
we are better able to act and adapt to future developments, and perhaps even preempt problems that might arise. For instance, in the emerging areas of quantum technology, we convened a panel of UK experts, with the support of the National Physics Laboratory (NPL), to feed into international and European standards work streams. We are able to do this because we have direct access to voice our collective UK position early on in new areas.” DSAG members make sure that BSI is up-to-date with the systems, processes and technology that are important to support big challenges like meeting net zero goals, and the security and effectiveness of national infrastructure. One of the core tasks of the DSAG is to inform priorities that support digital transformation for the economic and social benefit of the UK. BSI is also working with strategic partners to create communities of interest to connect industry, government and civil society to address the need for best practice in
specific areas. For example, BSI is a strategic partner, together with the Alan Turing Institute (ATI) and the National Physical Laboratory (NPL), for the AI Standards Hub . (see ‘AI Standards Hub promotes responsible AI’ pages 22-24).
With so much activity going on in digital standards-making, BSI has also decided to set up another group which will sit between DSAG and the technical committees that write digital standards, to be called the Digital Standards Optimization Committee (DSOC). “This will be an oversight committee that will take a wide view of digital standards, sharing intelligence and ensuring that standards work
is coordinated so that technical committees aren’t working in silos,” says Joy. “DSOC will be able to incorporate insights from DSAG and feed it into the national committees developing standards.”
Membership of this committee will comprise chairs from digital standards-making committees and leads for those sectors with a significant digital element such as mobility and data. DSOC is expected to launch in late 2023. “All of this activity is to support the twin aims of our digital strategy which are; to build trust in digital products and services and make them sustainable; and to build a digital strategy to achieve net zero,” says Joy.
