Not unlike the geographical nature of Australia, New Zealand’s local councils service an integrated network of countless communities with diverse needs and social complexities, from the islands in the Far North District to the frosty fjords of Southland. Digital technologies are a vital mechanism for these communities with rich and distinct cultures so that they can maintain their connection to citizens, other councils and the NZ Government at large.
Digital as a resource is not just for convenience, but rather forms part of a Government tech toolkit that crucially delivers essential public services with the required care and sensitivity to local needs. For discussions on building necessary connectivity infrastructure or improving digital inclusion, join us at the FST Local Government New Zealand conference for 2022, where we’ll explore the unique digital demands of NZ’s councils – now and in the future.
Join us where we’ll explore:
- The response from local governments on post-pandemic recovery and how digital resources offer support
- Overcoming legacy thinking and supporting next-generation cloud technologies to improve connectivity
- Catering to the needs of local citizens and cultures through public services augmented by digital
- Cybersecurity strategies that are specific to local governments
- Smart cities and IoT on the horizon and how local governments are preparing
- The advancement of omnichannel services and platforms in line with citizen needs
Digital Transformation Beyond 2022
- How can local government use adversity as a positive force for transformation?
- How can councils re-imagine their work and resourcing needs in the midst of skills and talent shortages?
- How do you best translate digital transformation into measurable outcomes to ensure we deliver to the needs of citizens?
- What are the most effective ways to strategise and future-proof our councils for the benefit of services and communities?
Excelling Citizen Insights and Engagement through Data
- How can local governments leverage Insights, Analytics, and AI to better serve the community?
- What are some ways to improve data availability, accessibility, and reusability while maintaining transparency and public trust?
- How can you ensure ethics and practices relating to data collection, management, and use are understood and applied consistently across the data system
- How can councils develop their workforce's capabilities and skills to create, collect, manage, and better use data?
