Leading with Purpose in the Age of AI
Building on the momentum of 2025, this year’s Digital Leadership Day will kick off the NSW Government Innovation Week by empowering leaders to further drive transformation through AI, automation, secure digital systems, and inclusive leadership. While innovative progress is very much underway, many agencies are still constrained by siloed operating models, uneven digital maturity, and emerging AI capability that is yet to scale. This event is designed to support leaders navigating that transition, with a clear focus on building the leadership, structures, and systems needed for more connected government.
Now in its second year, the event brings together senior public sector leaders responsible for digital strategy, policy, risk, and transformation. With a strong emphasis on lateral systems thinking and a push towards a more connected Government 3.0 delivery, the agenda creates a practical forum to address cross-agency challenges, align policy with delivery, and responsibly advance innovation that delivers measurable public value.
