Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: 12 November 2018 1:29 pm. One of several photos of a new tower being erected at the junction of Seven Sisters Road and High Road, Tottenham N15.
The tower is on land previously owned Haringey Council. It was sold to Grainger plc. The building previously on the site was called 'Apex House'. It provided face-to-face services for residents. That was in the days before IT companies persuaded elected local councils an expensive fantasy: that such services could be provided online by a magical process called "channel shift". Under the mantras of "digital by default" and "doing more with less", this aims to reduce transaction costs as low as possible. While claiming that services are as efficient - if not not more efficient - than ever before. The approaches appear to range from encouraging people to use online digital tools; to insisting people use them as the first option; to compelling them because there's no alternative. It also means spending ever increasing amounts on the technical equipment and support services which keep the digital tools maintained and updated as "digital communications" continue to "evolve". _______________________________________ Possible Useful links about 'Channel Shift' § Abavus: The ultimate guide to channel shift. § The Local Government Association Understanding and implementing effective channel shift.
