Ensuring Investments in Smart Infrastructure Deliver Maximum Value to Citizens

The pace of technology in our modern world means that organizations at all levels and in all sectors constantly need to move forward or they will be left behind. This is particularly true in the public sector and at the municipal government level. It is often said that municipal governments are closest to the people, but in order for that to be all the more accurate, municipal governments need to embrace the technological advancements that so many of their citizens are engaged in daily. Many of them do that and do it very well. But in a broad sense it …

Challenging Bias and Barriers & How to Champion for Change and Become a Better Ally in the Workplace

When is the right time to step up? Lena Metlege Diab says that if you were to sit and think about when is the right time to have a baby, many of us may never find the right time for it. We may never be ready. But sometimes you just need to take the plunge and hopefully it turns out good on the other side. The same is true for women’s advocacy, whether it’s politics or leadership roles, particularly if we have a drive for it. The biggest inhibiting factor is self-belief.

Building Digital Talent Across Government Teams

We live in a world these days where almost every service has a digital component, and that is as true in the private sector as it is in the public sector. For instance, no agency, department or company is legitimate without a website, though an information-only website it not sufficient; it needs to be a portal for interaction and service provision. Hillary Hartley, the Deputy Minister and Chief Digital and Data Officer at the Ontario Digital Service, which is part of the Ministry of Finance, says that the digitization of society means that the public expects to be able to …

How to Encourage Talent Development, Training and Upskilling for Women within Public Sector

Not all women are born feminists. Maureen Towle, the Assistant Deputy Minister for Service Alberta Data, Information and Privacy Services Division within the Government of Alberta, says that for a long time she didn’t support days focused on women or the issues that feminism represented. In part this may be because for most of her childhood, she didn’t notice the little things that other women did, though they were there. On top of that, for her career before politics, she worked in female dominated disciplines, mostly in admin support, with many women, so the issues around feminism were not as …

Marketing and Communications for Municipalities

Most organizations, especially in the public sector, are constantly looking to improve their marketing and communications in order to better connect with their constituents. This is especially the case in the local government sector. Municipalities work locally and therefore want their messages to resonate with their residents. But given the constant barrage of news and information, it is often hard to create messages that have meaning. Partly for that reason, Edmonton Global was created in Alberta in early 2019. Chris McLeod MBA, the Vice President of Global Marketing & Communications, says that they are an economic development organization that focuses …
