Event Overview

Sustaining Digital Transformation Beyond COVID Times

The Canadian public service witnessed an extraordinary acceleration of digital transformation across government service delivery. New technologies have become key business enablers, helping to consolidate government platforms, digitalize credentials and automate front and back end. To make digital government a reality in an unpredictable environment, the government must modernize how it manages transformation to meet the changing needs and expectations of citizens. As such, a citizen-centric approach to design, development, and delivery is critical to facilitate trust and increase access to essential services.


As we move further into the digital era, citizens are looking for consumer-grade experiences from the government. With demand for digital experiences increasing across all generations of Canadians, the government has an opportunity to streamline services for the digital age. Focus on accessibility, inclusion, new technologies like digital identity and reliance on data for decision making will drive successful transformations.
