The Cyber Journey with Okta

The last couple of years since the start of the pandemic have seen an increase in the types and number of cyber security threats, but also in the brazenness of the attacks. According to the survey responses, over half of Australia’s public sector agencies are currently impleme…

Improving Leadership Representation for Women from Diverse Backgrounds

The following ten rules are based specifically on Senator Jaffer’s experience, but she says they are particularly important if you want to break down barriers. That is a very difficult thing to do, but it is much easier than it was 50 years ago. Moreover, there is a much bigger group of women in the public service these days, verging on 50%, but there is still not the diversity of backgrounds in the parliament or in the public service as there is in general society, so there is still a lot of work to do in order to get the …

Government Reimagined: The Top Digital Trends in 2022

Events of the past two years have accelerated the need among government departments and agencies to reimagine public service delivery. With entire populations forced online, the efficacy of digital government and its ability to cater to every citizen has come into an even sharper focus. Delivering this level of proactivity relies on a shift in technology and mindset organised around the citizen. It means combining user experience, customer experience, and employee experience capabilities – powered by AI and analytics. Taking a citizen-centric view also extends to digital equality and developing the capability to reach all – not just most – …

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 …

Advancing Digital Healthcare to Create Seamless Care Journeys

The global pandemic has been a health crisis to be sure, but it has also presented an opportunity for the healthcare industry, one that may not come around again. Though initially healthcare professionals – like almost everyone else – responded to the pandemic in a somewhat chaotic manner, eventually they found their stride, and with technology and great advances in medicines and the development of vaccinations, were able to care for their patients in a more informed way. This patient-centric care model that is underpinned by data and is values-driven is what is now expected across the healthcare sector. Data …

Delivering Healthcare to Remote Communities

The intention was for the care of patients to be as “uninterrupted as possible,” and this even included the publication of a “playbook and other resources to help physicians.” The first few months of the pandemic in remote locations led to a lot of lessons being learned, many of which “were not anticipated.” In Yukon for instance, in the northwest of the country, “we were very rapidly able to move to providing consultations either over a platform or over the phone, so that was excellent,” and the transition to virtual care was all but seamless. One of the positive but …
