Training Overview
Tools and Frameworks to make sense if disparate systems, process and information
The amount of money that government agencies are spending on software is up 16.9% from 2021 and is set to hit AUD162.2 billion. The aftermath of the pandemic has accelerated the drive to modernise products and services.
For public sector unit leaders and project managers tasked with modernisation, digital transformation is a must-have. Business transformation is complex and difficult for subject matter experts who have to pivot to project managing business transformation initiatives. Managing the world of process mapping, documentation and stakeholder engagement is especially challenging.
This course has been developed for public sector executives who are beginning their modernisation journey to help you navigate the world of business transformation, understand the pros and cons of different frameworks and tools, process improvement strategy and discern the right questions to ask as you begin your journey to optimise future results.
