Phillip Webb
Chief Executive
Police Information Technology Organisation (PITO) | | | | |
Phillip has been Chief Executive of Police Information Technology Organisation (PITO) since October 2001. Prior to joining PITO he was the Chief Information Officer (CIO) and Chief Knowledge Officer (CKO) of the Defence Evaluation and Research Agency (DERA) and subsequently QinetiQ on privatisation. PITO is a Non Departmental Public Body (NDPB) under tripartite governance (Home Office, ACPO and APA), with an annual budget of over £500M and 700 staff of police officers and civilians, tasked to provide the police with national ICT solutions to address national issues.
Phillip is an experienced board level executive and strategic planner with a track record of delivering major programmes. His professional career has covered the fields of electrical, electronic and nuclear engineering before settling in the computer science discipline. He maintains a wide circle of contacts in industry, academia, defence and law enforcement circles.
Phillip's engineering career began in 1967 at the Royal Naval College, Greenwich, where, after graduating he held scientific research and teaching posts. An early interest in systems modelling and simulation enabled him to develop his computing skills in both analogue and digital computing techniques. He later developed a wealth of high-level experience in ICT issues with a range of government organisations, including the Admiralty Research Establishment (ARE), the Defence Research Agency (DRA) and even a spell a Scientist with the Admiralty’s Applied Psychology Unit. His wider engineering and scientific experience involved major projects concerning nuclear reactor operation and design, sonar system performance and design, command and control systems design, man-machine interaction, secure communications and information management.
He was appointed Director of Information Systems for DRA in 1991 and assumed the wider responsibilities of CIO with the formation of DERA in 1995. The rapid growth in technology, market testing, outsourcing and the exploitation of e-business formed the backdrop to Phillip's task of supporting the development of DERA's commercial role in the knowledge economy and the build up to its eventual privatisation in July 2001.
During his time at PITO the volume of project work has increased significantly with a doubling of resources and a six-fold increase in turn over. Phillip introduced end-to-end programme and benefit management practices, which are quoted as best practice by the OGC. Phillip has steered the organisation through substantial change during the past five years with the expansion of PITO’s role, the introduction of commercial business practices, changes in governance and planning for further organisational change in an environment of wider police reform. This has required close stakeholder engagement at Chief Officer, Ministerial and Commercial Board level.
Phillip is a Fellow of the British Computer Society, Chartered IT Professional and has published and spoken extensively on ICT and Knowledge Management issues. He is an active member of numerous national and international committees and still enjoys a regular lecturing role. He is Chairman of the Board of Governors of the University of Portsmouth and maintains a keen interest in scientific research. He is married with one daughter and lives in Hampshire.
