How do you modernise a 926-year-old organisation without breaking anything? HMRC collects £875 billion a year and serves millions of citizens and businesses. It also runs one of the UK’s biggest, oldest and most safety-critical digital estates. So how do you change something that can’t stop?

In this Sooner Safer Happier LIVE session, Tom Skalycz, HMRC’s Chief Technology Officer, shares what the team has learned so far. The recording is now available.

At the heart of it is Path (Pioneering Advanced Technologies for HMRC), a protected space inside a live national organisation to experiment safely, learn fast, and adopt modern technologies without lowering the bar on security, resilience or public trust. What you’ll take away:

* Start small to scale big: prove value quickly, then expand what works * Cut time to value: remove barriers and empower the teams closest to delivery * Build safety into speed: innovation that strengthens critical services rather than putting them at risk
