Digitising and Scaling Corporate Services for Back Office Transformation

Part of the Corporate & Shared Services National Insights Series

Wednesday, 27 April 2022 | 11am – 1:10pm AEST | Online

Event Overview

Reimagining Business Processes to Enable the Evolving Government 

Corporate functions play a crucial role in department-wide decision-making and excellence. Coupled with modern approaches to strategy, analytical insight reporting, and ever-evolving trends and expectations, working to deliver value internally and externally means the back-office
must always be looking to optimise their ways of working, and fast.

To aid further exploration of how corporate functions can lean into new technologies and processes to accelerate efficiencies, we’ve put together this ‘Autumn Edition’ Virtual Event as part of our 2022 Corporate & Shared Services Community National Insights series.

Join us as we hear case studies from corporate-focused peers and discuss how to further integrate modern practices into all corporate
service roles across Australia’s public sector.
