ABOUT THIS SESSION

The rapidly changing workplace makes acquiring new skills more important than ever. To truly be the change, it is critical to nurture crucial human skills while also building your digital expertise.

Data and its impact on public sector workplaces

This session will look at the ways in which the public sector can recognise data as a strategic asset and apply it in pursuit of public value

Topic Outline

The application of data in government has almost limitless potential for providing more efficient, effective, and trustworthy public services.  This session will focus on the application of data in the public sector workplace and how it can be managed to generate public value.

Thriving in a remote working world
This session will address how we engage in hybrid ways of working, what have we learned, what are we missing and how do we thrive.

Topic Outline

In the past, employees who worked remotely had a bad reputation with many employers believing their workforce could be too easily distracted at home where managers could not monitor work flows and project progress. 

Work remotely was very rare a decade ago and usually only available as a special arrangement to accommodate families or health issues in specific cases. However, the changes created by COVID-19, along with greatly improved teleconferencing and networking technologies, have allowed many organisations to thrive with completely remote teams and it is generally accepted that businesses will continue to allow many of their employees to work some of their time from home.

How will this flexibility create new and expanded opportunities for businesses and employees to thrive?

Leading through change
This session explores leading through change, lessons learned along the way and identifies change leadership attributes and the various levers of change that generate significant and sustainable change.
 
Topic Outline
How we respond to change, can make or break us and our careers. The discussion on change management offers unique insight into how leaders face change - the good, the bad, and everything in between. 

The session provides an opportunity to stop and reflect on examples of how leaders have created movements out of moments, how they picked themselves up from mighty falls, how they led to victory, and how they led through defeat. You will hear examples of how they shifted mindsets, modified behaviours, and in some instances, entirely changed the game.

How automation is changing public sector workplaces

Digitisation, automation and AI are changing the way we access and provide public sector services and in this session we examine the key trends, challenges and opportunities this change creates.

Digitisation and Automation are not new trends – indeed they have been ever-present over the last 40-50 years. However, as some leading commentators point out, we are in the midst of the 4th industrial revolution where automation and AI are significantly impacting the way we interact with colleagues, how we work and how we deliver outcomes to citizens. 

Topic Outline
In this session Ean explores the megatrends that form part of this industrial revolution and explores a number of pertinent questions:

What impact is ongoing digitisation, automation and AI having on governments around the world?
What does this mean for citizens, government employees and the workplace?
What might we expect to see over the coming years?

What is Blockchain?

This session will explain the key concepts behind Blockchain and how it can be used to bring greater transparency to transactions, make the delivery of services more effective and make the most of government’s digital transformation efforts.

The advantages of Blockchain solutions, including security, efficiency, and speed of delivery will also be discussed.

Topic Outline
Whilst cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, have gained much media attention, the underlying technology, Blockchain, hasn’t attracted the same profile despite its potential and accelerated use globally.

This session will explore practical ways in which Blockchain can provide opportunities to build new, distributed platforms that can help reshape how government services are delivered to citizens.
