Event Overview
Roadmap to a Successful Digital Transformation
As service delivery moves further into the virtual realm, a strong digital transformation strategy is paramount for all levels of government. Identifying the needs of citizens, gaining trust through reliable and secure services, and striking the right balance between innovation and practicality is essential to success and progress.
Designing digital services which are accessible, inclusive and citizen-centric is an absolute must. By committing to inclusive and innovative design, the public sector can create exceptional products and services. To achieve this, internal buy-in and a culture that is receptive to change is paramount. Embracing a digital mindset and adopting the technologies to facilitate change is key to success.
To optimize your digital transformation journey, Digital Government & CX Roadshow 2022 will bring together public sector leaders to explore the most efficient strategies to help you gain internal buy-in and develop a roadmap for your digital transformation. This series will head to 5 Canadian cities, from coast to coast, to highlight emerging trends, future opportunities, and the barriers to successful digital transformation.
