Beyond Adoption: Maximising Productivity and Public Value from Cloud and AI Investments

As government agencies mature their cloud environments and expand the use of AI-enabled capabilities, teams are now expected to demonstrate not only stronger governance and investment discipline, but also measurable productivity gains from those investments. In a more scrutinised fiscal environment, the challenge is to show how cloud and AI investment translates into productivity, better services and tangible public value.

That challenge does not sit with executives alone. The people who allocate, tag, forecast and optimise consumption, including cloud and platform teams, FinOps practitioners, architects, and delivery and procurement leads, hold the evidence that makes the value case credible. Without them, reporting stays at the level of spend and utilisation.

Join public sector technology practitioners and leaders as they set out how to improve visibility across cloud and AI investments, strengthen decision-making, and evidence the productivity and public value those investments deliver.

Key discussion points:
• Improve visibility across cloud and AI investments: Create a reliable view of where cloud and AI investment sits, how it is allocated, and who is accountable for outcomes.
• Strengthen governance and investment decision-making: Apply practical mechanisms that improve prioritisation, funding decisions and ongoing oversight, without slowing delivery teams down.
• Connect technology investment to measurable outcomes: Link cloud and AI investment to productivity, service delivery improvements, risk reduction and strategic objectives.
• Free up capacity to deliver better: Turn optimisation and reallocation into released capacity, meaning more engineering time, faster delivery and better services, rather than savings alone.
• Measure and communicate realised public value: Move beyond activity and utilisation metrics to demonstrate tangible benefits to the public, improving citizen experience and service delivery.

This webinar is designed for public sector technology teams and leaders involved in cloud, AI, platforms, delivery or ICT procurement, from those who influence and operate these environments day to day through to those accountable for their performance, across federal, state and local government, health, education, utilities, emergency services and corrections.
