Leading from the Human Perspective of Digital Transformation
Digital Transformation remains at the forefront of the public sector agenda, However, while it’s easy to get caught up in the technical details of digital initiatives, the true success factors lie on the people side of the equation.

Women Leaders in the Workplace: A View From the Top
The public sector is constantly evolving. Nearly every job will change, many quite profoundly, and many of your employees will need to be trained. Upskilling also comes at a time when emerging skill sets are scarce, and the talent market is competitive. To address this crisis, employers will need to both train employees in new areas and provide enabling technologies to boost their current productivity.
