Achieving Better Public Service through Digital Government

Achieving Better Public Service through Digital Government

Our world has become digital, and though the public sector has sometimes been slow to embrace digital opportunities, COVID-19 has largely changed that. Many organisations began their journeys towards digitisation before the pandemic hit, but now face the challenge of keeping that momentum, embedding the changes and ensuring no-one is left behind. This paper brings together Australian experts in digitisation from the private and public sectors. All have had to navigate their way through transformations and the pandemic, and all have learned valuable lessons along the way.

How Client Centric, Digital Public Sector Services Improve NSW Citizen Experience

How Client Centric, Digital Public Sector Services Improve NSW Citizen Experience

Innovation is a word not often directly correlated with government services. Due primarily to challenges around size, scope, budgets, bureaucracy, general risk-aversion and public scrutiny, the public sector is often regarded as slow moving. As governments strive to balance priorities and the allocation of scarce resources, new approaches are needed. The public sector needs to be increasingly innovative and to work smarter to effectively respond to the complex challenges facing society now and into the future. In this whitepaper we explore these digital service delivery priorities and delve into why they’re crucial to the future of public sector innovation.

Upskilling to build critical skills and competencies: A crucial HR focus in 2021

Prior to the pandemic, government HR leaders were generally concerned with recruiting, motivating, and retaining talent. And while upskilling was already a key priority for government departments prior to the pandemic, COVID-19 has heightened the reskilling challenge. The adoption of new technology in terms of working and HR has been an exciting one; technology has enabled a quick adaption to the …

The 3 biggest benefits of a remote workforce

The 3 biggest benefits of a remote workforce

Even before the advent of Covid-19, remote working had moved from a mere perk reserved for the few to a mainstream concept. While pre-2020 employees may have started to work out of the office here and there, being thrust into a global pandemic accelerated the uptake – and acceptance – of remote work. While Covid-19 didn’t initiate the idea of remote working, it definitely fast-tracked a trend in the making. With this fast tracking came a whole host of unexpected opportunities and challenges. Many government agencies had to urgently solve security, data and collaboration issues related to remote work without …
