Off the back of years of unparalleled trial and tribulation, Victoria’s citizens and Government are successfully bouncing back, but not without some help from its tech and digital resources that have accelerated the state’s recovery. Budget announcements focused on continuing Victoria’s innovative ways of delivering care, especially for rural and regional citizens, and investing in the TAFE and training sector to create more places for digital literacy and employability skills courses to get Victorians back to work.
As the ramifications of the last few years persist, so has the Government’s reprioritisation of digital transformation for public service functions, with commitments to building future-ready and resilient industries, investing in the digital infrastructure and skills, fostering a culture of innovation and continuous learning, ensuring digital inclusivity, and facilitating seamless digital interactions between Government, businesses and the community. Addressing these issues and more, FST Government is delighted to host our 7th annual Victoria conference in 2022. We welcome esteemed technology and digital innovation thought leaders from the public sector to discuss trends that are shaping the future of digital government.

- The state’s whole-of-government digital transformation program

How to Attract, Retain and Mobilise Teams Towards Transformation
One year before the pandemic, Andrea released her first award-winning book, Future Fit, where she declared that 'nine to five was over and so is the traditional style of leadership that thrived inside of those hours.' Now, as we find ourselves negotiating new ways of working, Andrea believes that we have a brief window of opportunity to examine what is specifically required of leaders to mobilise teams towards change: we need a new perspective on our relationship with tools, talent, and time; new tactics to engage empowered employees; and clarity around the role that learning plays in creating value for the organisations we serve.
