Digital Transformation: Are we there yet?

ABOUT THIS EVENT

Digital transformation across the public sector has stalled. After over 25 years of considerable time, money, and effort at national, state, and local levels, we’re still not ‘there’ yet.

NSW is focused on creating a long term shift in improving government services for citizens and creating a world class public sector by 2023.  A key part of shifting the design and delivery of public policy and services is the way in which digital technologies, and their associated tools, platforms, and organisational culture and capabilities, are used. 

While successive waves of investment in digital transformation have focused on improving the transactional functions and activities of government, they have not yet embraced the bigger challenge – the need for governing and government to rethink a new ‘theory of the business’. 

The forum will build your knowledge of the progress we are making in NSW and share the lessons being learnt and practical insights you can apply in your own contexts.  It will support you in developing a new theory of business for your own organisational area as we stand on the brink of a new decade. 

WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND

This forum is essential for anyone passionate and committed to creating world class public services in NSW.

The panel of reflective practitioners and NSW Government leaders will share their personal and practical experience of digital transformation in government and the public sector in Australia.    

All IPAA events include purposeful networking which allows you to:

• Build relationships with the speaker/s and fellow guests
• Develop your capabilities 
• Establish connections across the NSW public sector.

SPONSOR ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

This event is presented with support from our partner Deloitte.
