The communities of practice platform developed by the Improvement and Development Agency, and offered to Scottish local government communities in partnership with the Improvement Service, has won an e-Government National Award 2008.
The platform won in the 'e-Government Excellence: Leadership and Professionalism' category which recognises "leading e-Government strategies and professional development which contribute to achieving positive transformation".
The awards recognise excellence across transformational e-Government projects. The other Scottish success was Fife Council, which won in the 'Local e-Government Excellence: Team' category for the Fife Child Protection Register.
