Wardley Maps Meetup #16: Wardley Maps in UN and UK Gov

We are back again!
This time we have a special guest, Mark Craddock, who led the development of the United Nations Global Platform, where they used Wardley Maps, and together with his work in the UK Gov they had an estimated save of over £12 Billion!

Mark will be talking about the usage of Wardley Maps within the UK Government programmes, UN, and also about his new endeavour GCATI the Global Certification and Training Institute.

He contributed to the Cloud First policy for the UK Public Sector and was one of the founding architects for the UK Governments G-Cloud programme. Mark developed the initial CloudStore which enabled the UK Public Sector to procure cloud services from over 2,500 suppliers. The UK Public Sector has now purchased over £4.3Bn of cloud services, with £2.2Bn from Small to Medium Enterprises in the UK. Mark led the development of the United Nations Global Platform. A multi-cloud platform for capacity building within the national statistics offices in the use of Big Data and its integration with administrative sources, geospatial information, traditional survey and census data.

Mark, together with Simon Wardley, has also released a book
"UN Global Platform Handbook on Information Technology Strategy: Wardley Mapping with example SDGs maps"
