Refining IT Infrastructure Initiatives to Further Aotearoa’s Digital Strategy
This is just one example, but the changes over the last few decades have been so dramatic that the “traditional concepts of things like property ownership and even our social fabric are being challenged.” And just like the industrial age was about “augmenting human strengths, the digital age is about augmenting human intellect.” As part of that, rather than the mass production of identical products, which was at the heart of the industrial revolution, “the digital era is characterised by personalisation and the tailoring of services to meet the needs of the many, the few and the individual.” Like the …

Harnessing Emerging Technologies for Citizen Outcomes
The Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) “provides whole-of-government technology and cybersecurity services across the SA government.” Due to the importance of the work, “the way we harness these emerging technologies is absolutely critical.” Therefore, at OCIO and across the entire public sector, “we’re not going to be harnessing anything new if our people don’t feel safe.” Despite all that humankind has been through and the fact that “our civilisations have changed dramatically over time, our brain has not evolved at the same pace,” particularly the amygdala, which is responsible for “emotional stress and our fight, flight or freeze …

Public Sector Innovation Show – British Columbia
Jillian Carruthers says that the four principles of service transformation are: Despite these principles and the identified steps, there really is no guide, manual or playbook. This is emergent work and a lot of it we are processing by feel. Yet despite that, Kevin Ehrman says that service transformation is extremely important because services are how people experience government. Unfortunately though, most of the time it is reactive and generally not in a context which is too pleasant or desirable. This is particularly true and visible when it comes to emergencies. In BC for instance, after a flooding crisis, the …

Speaker Spotlight Q&A: Wendy Geller, PhD - Division Director, Data Management & Analysis, Vermont Agency of Education
Wendy’s dissertation findings highlighted shifting demographics in education arenas and labor markets internationally, specific education orientations occurring across cultures, and presented thoughts on the social and spatial forces surrounding rural community viability. Since leaving academia, Dr. Geller has dedicated herself to creating the cultural, infrastructural, and operational conditions required for practicing good data science in the public sector. She lives in Montpelier, VT with her brilliant husband, Alex, their joyful son, Sylvan, and trusty companion, Sir Richard the Lionhearted Dog. Iteration, and the open expectation of failure with view to making something better, together, makes collaboration an everyday activity. It’s …

Speaker Spotlight Q&A: Julia Wong, IT Accessibility Compliance Officer, Massachusetts Executive Office of Health and Human Services
For nearly 20 years, Julia Wong has been instrumental in addressing accessibility issues within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts through her knowledge of general accessibility standards and compliance, Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, WCAG2 standards, as well as testing and remediation of various forms of electronic mediums. She has contributed to the accessibility standards for the Commonwealth by co-authoring the original state standards and the Executive Office of Health and Human Services (EOHHS) Secretariat Accessibility Policy.

Enterprise Architecture in the Modern Public Sector
The timing for the reinvention was right because after languishing in obscurity for over a decade, enterprise architecture (EA) was also “being reborn within the government of Canada. In fact, in 2016 the practice of EA was renewed across all government agencies and was reimagined as a conceptual blueprint that defines the structure and operation of an organization considering and aligning business, information, data, applications, technology, security and privacy domains to support strategic outcomes. The Office of the CIO is therefore ultimately responsible for the expectations related to EA, and for “defining the current and target architecture standards. EA alone …

Maximising Innovation & IT initiatives to prepare the way for better citizen outcomes
A practical example of the impact of data and digital comes from the management of and response to COVID-19. WA, like all jurisdictions, has a vaccine and check-in app. In fact, WA has two government-sanctioned apps. Either way, they have “2.2 million registered users. For context, there are about 2.6 million Western Australians, and we are a state that basically hasn’t had COVID-19 for two years.” No other service or program has been able to interact with nearly 85% of the population. “There’s no way we could have had that reach with face-to-face engagement or with a policy change unless …
