Join us at our 2022 FST Government New Zealand conference, as we invite thought leaders from the public sector and tech industry to chart NZ’s ongoing progress towards a unified eGovernment and track its digital innovation pipeline and citizen reception.

It seems that the New Zealand Government is continuing its digital success stories from recent years, as it reconfigures the COVID-19 pandemic as a learning curve for how to better leverage technology to digitally-enable Government operations and citizen outcomes for the future.

Digital innovation in NZ has spread across modernising the cloud-based workplace, increasing agility in response to crises and tackling the digital divide that emerged more so during the pandemic.

These policies form part of NZ’s threefold digital government strategy, which also comprises a strategy for digital public service and a Government digital work programme with trust, inclusion and growth at the forefront. Focused on enhancing citizen literacy, experience, accessibility and connectivity, these efforts continue to drive NZ along the path of innovation and a successful digital transformation journey.

Join us where we’ll explore:

  • NZ’s post-COVID recovery plan after the release of their ‘Wellbeing Budget’
  • The implementation of NZ’s internal and external cloud migration strategies
  • Whole-of-government digital transformation
  • How digital resources support the Government’s responses to the distinct needs of citizens
  • Data governance and privacy mandates
  • The future of connectivity in New Zealand
  • A next-generation cybersecurity strategy that is adaptive, intuitive and automated

Build for the Future: The Continuous Modernisation of Government

Predicting the future is hard! And guess what? Government Agencies don't get to transform and then pause. It's a continuous evolution of keeping up with the expectations of citizens and agency stakeholders. 

Today, agencies face;

  • Rising demand and expectations for existing and new services
  • Massive workload spikes
  • Heightened media and citizen scrutiny

This session will explore how government agencies can demonstrate agility, streamline processes, and improve experiences while preparing for whatever lies ahead.

The GCSB’s National Cyber Security Centre focus is on the cyber resilience of New Zealand’s nationally significant organisations over a wide range of sectors. It offers cyber threat detection, disruption, advice and deterrence functions to support public and private sector organisations’ cyber security. Detection and disruption platforms enable visibility of a range of nationally significant organisations for advanced threats. The NCSC operates a 24/7 incident response capability to assist response to potentially high impact, nationally significant cyber security incidents. Its advisory and regulatory work includes cyber security resilience raising, resilience campaigns, threat and vulnerability assessment, and regulatory security risk assessment of telecommunications network changes, space launch activities and overseas investment. Deterrence activities include high grade cryptographic services, and inspection and accreditation for highly classified sites and systems. The NCSC supports the Government Chief Information Security Officer function, of the Director General of the Government Communications Security Bureau, providing information security policy and guidance for the public sector.
