| Mark attends an internal meeting with his clients – members of the web editorial team and officers from other council service departments. They discuss the latest state of the website and how far it is satisfying local community needs for information. Where there are services that are still not electronically available, Mark sets out his plans for their implementation. He also reports on the internal communications system, the intranet. In addition he might present his proposals for the development of ICT systems, debating new ideas about how web pages might look and where they should be located on the site. |
