2023 Overview

Every business function in the public service has undergone significant transformation in recent years, however, the key focus for New Zealand agencies has been making the right investment in emerging technologies to improve and update digital services. The Digital Government Leadership Group has led the design and implementation of a strategic digital investment roadmap to create impact and build the digital and data use and governance capabilities designed and implemented to make the changes necessary for driving citizen-centric, digitally equitable service provision.

Recent departmental efforts in the implementation of new technology and processes have highlighted the need to focus on leading the strategic transformation of workplace culture. Upskilling the digital workforce has never been more imperative for public service leaders.

To gain fresh insights into best practices in digital transformation as well as a unique opportunity to gain benefits from exchanging cross-departmental insights, join us at Innovate New Zealand 2023.
