To explore new ideas in addressing user problems in the maritime industry staff from across the UKHO have recently completed a week-long Innovation Challenge, using the Design Sprint methodology.
Our oceans are critical to so many aspects of our day-to-day lives, but how do we unlock their full economic potential? The key lies in accurate, comprehensive marine geospatial data.
Creating a gender balance across tech teams is a challenge that needs to be addressed. As part of International Women's Day, Sharon Lewis talks about how our Women's Network is working to create parity across our own teams at the UKHO.
Little things can make a big difference. Find out how we reward small steps of improvement to boost productivity and positivity within our teams.
Here at the UK Hydrographic Office, there’s a huge focus on learning and development so that staff can realise their full potential. Find out more about the opportunities we offer to develop digital skills.
As part of the Geospatial Commission, we're working with our partners to enhance our 'Core Data Asset' - the data each agency uses to create our varied products and services.
We work with a range of data suppliers to ensure our charts contain the latest safety information. One of these suppliers is the mariners themselves, sending crowdsourced information via our H-Note App.
Test automation is part of our core engineering practices at the UKHO. We blend traditional manual testing with automated testing to help deliver real value to our customers.
Part of the value of geospatial data lies in how easy it is to discover, access and use - this was the topic for our first workshop as part of the Geospatial Commission.
Find out how we process Automatic Identification Systems (AIS) data to gain valuable insight into our oceans and how they’re used.
We've introduced 'guilds' for staff who want to share their knowledge, learn more, build relationships, and take forward ideas.
