GIW WA: Cassandra Bisset on: Getting your information AI-ready with strategies that drive trust

Cassandra Bisset, VP of Strategy, Public Sector, and Content Services at Objective Corporation, addressed one of the most pressing challenges for WA government agencies: preparing information systems for AI adoption. 

She stressed that AI outcomes are only as strong as the information that underpins them, and that moving beyond pilots requires embedding governance, compliance, and security into every layer of information management.

Key Highlights:

• Moving beyond AI pilots to deliver scalable, trusted outcomes
• Embedding information governance as the foundation for AI adoption
• Leveraging information as a strategic asset for intelligent, citizen-focused government
• Unlocking siloed data to maximise the benefits of Microsoft Copilot and other AI tools

Bisset emphasised that AI cannot succeed in isolation — it depends on trusted information frameworks that ensure quality, compliance, and public confidence. 

By treating information as a strategic asset, WA agencies can create the foundations for AI that is not only innovative but also secure, responsible, and citizen-centric.
