DIGITAL LEADERSHIP | CAPABILITY AT SCALE | ADVANCED SERVICE DELIVERY | ORGANISATIONAL CYBER UPLIFT

NSW is still looked to as the trailblazer for digital government in Australia, with Service NSW and Cyber Security NSW seen as the ‘gold standard’ for what the country’s eGovernments should be delivering to its citizens. Many are wondering what could be next in store for NSW’s digital front, and what are its latest priorities for customer experience, data, and upscaling capabilities and services.

Find out what’s on the horizon at FST Government’s New South Wales 2023 conference, where there’ll be the opportunity to hear from thought leaders across NSW’s public sector to explore the Government’s innovation expectations and the progression of its digital transformation initiatives.

Join us where we’ll explore:

  • Delivering strategy through tangible programs of work, tech, and skills development
  • The pursuit of ‘digital by default’ to upscale the digital standard for customer experience
  • Incorporating data insights for informed decision-making
  • The progress and next steps in whole-of-government and internal digital transformation initiatives
  • Building digital-ready infrastructure and using IT to provide better outcomes
  • A future-ready cybersecurity strategy that is progressive, proactive, and underpinned by an expansive workforce
  • Breaking down the digital divide through omnichannel services and platform accessibility for all citizens
