#PSNINNOVATE

What’s In Store for 2024

With trust being a prerequisite for progress, humanizing government, making the right decisions, and meeting citizen expectations by providing a service that is intuitive, engaging, and easy to use are critical if the NSW Government is to enter 2025 with confidence.

To regain and retain trust, innovating to keep up with emerging citizen
demands is a necessity. But innovating in the face of the most significant
barrier to continuous innovation – budget constraints and competing priorities

The 7th Annual Public Sector ‘Innovate NSW’ Showcase aims to help guide and facilitate this significant, ongoing undertaking – bringing together 200+ NSW government leaders and influencers to converge and collaborate on what has worked best to date.
