Harnessing Technology to Transform the Australian Public Sector to Adapt to the New Normal

About this event

As the COVID pandemic has hit our global and local economies over the past months, government departments have had to respond  quickly to adapt to new ways of doing things. Remote workforces, digital customer service, cost concerns, cyber security, risk reduction, contactless ways of interacting have all risen to the top in priorities both throughout,  and as we look towards the road ahead post COVID-19. Disruption of this magnitude has lead to fast-tracking transformation initiatives This session will address the key topics and share insights and challenges faced over the past months; as well as several transformational response tactics to come out the other side of COVID-19 into the New Normal as faster and more effective ways to operate and serve.

Topics will cover:

  • The new normal and role of technology: how are public sector organizations adapting?
  • The convergence of Citizen and employee end user experience 
  • Shifting from physical to virtual: using analytics, big data and to shift securely and cost-effectively?
  • Using automation and AI to respond to heightened security concerns as systems become more exposed  
  • Contactless ways of working and transacting during and post a COVID Pandemic world
  • The role of cognitive technology including virtual agents
  • How ‘platforms’ are simplifying the challenge and speeding the response effort

    Martin Braithwaite General Manager IT Operations Australia & New Zealand @ NEC Australia

    During my 25 years of being in different management roles I have learnt the importance of working for the team and not expecting the team to work for me. My role is as a mentor and adviser, giving strategic direction and helping the team embrace change. I put more importance on EQ than IQ and believe that innovation is an evolutionary process that does not have an end. The biggest risk to a company is not taking any risks as only the bold will survive with the velocity of change that is occurring within our industry. I am passionate about educating myself on the changes that the digital economy are bringing to our industries and how we will meet the challenges associated with these fundamental changes to business direction. Specialties: - Digital Transformations - Leadership mentoring - Strategic planning - Organisational Change Management - Planning and managing major transition projects - Major bid strategic and planning management - Implementing Business Intelligence strategies
