Event Overview
Enabling a Technology-Driven Government
We are living in a new epoch – with remote work, increasingly complex digital service needs, extreme environmental events, and pandemic-induced economic instability. As a result, the public sector has now certainly learned how to be ‘adaptive and resilient.’
However, with technology now a primary driver of sustainable change management, government organisations are needing to work smarter and faster to outline a clear, strategic focus in order to deliver their citizen-centric visions and major innovations. We can no longer afford to function using outdated and clunky systems and old IT infrastructure and offer the same old interactions with government agencies.
To help optimise and evolve your department’s IT strategy and enterprise architecture stack, we’ve put together the ICT Transformation Roadshow which explores emerging technologies, techniques, and real-world case studies from public sector leaders. Exploring how we can further create and deliver organisational goals and become innovative IT leaders using efficient new tools, technologies, and processes, and add value to how our governments serve our citizens. The series will head to 7 cities across ANZ to benchmark the key challenges and opportunities presented to the public sector in each state and country.
