Principle 3: Engage early and consult widely

Drive early engagement and consultation to help challenge traditional practices and explore new possibilities. Seek advice from technology, industry and procurement experts at the earliest possible stage to reduce wastage of time, resources and effort later on.

Reach out to other agencies or areas within your agency to establish if an existing solution or platform is suitable to reuse. Also consider how your investment fits into the existing agency and technology environment
