Public Sector Innovation Show Saskatchewan
Monday, June 27, 2022
Delta Hotel Regina | 8:30 am CT
Event Overview
Over the past few years, the public sector has fast-tracked the adoption of a digital-first mindset. The need to innovate the public service has been of growing importance as staying the same is no longer an option. Innovation has become the new normal and with the landscape continually shifting, public sector leaders must keep up with the speed of change.
Innovation is not just about leveraging technology, organizations are now collaborating and involving industry partners in the design of processes by actively soliciting ideas, gathering feedback, and co-creating better public service solutions.
When we work together with organizations and experts across a wide range of departments, we can turn ideas into real solutions and make them available for citizens. For the Saskatchewan public sector, this opens the door to reimagine a future in which all citizens have access to the benefits and opportunities of the digital economy. How can public sector leaders continue the transformation momentum and build a culture that is forward thinking and innovative?
The Public Sector Innovation Show is designed to provide inspiration, tools, and information for public sector leaders in Saskatchewan to drive overall growth in their departments and the province. This event is for the community to meet each other in the context of quality conversations from some of the leading innovative ‘doers’ in the region.
