How to elevate digital to the core of government leadership
The development of digital technology creates the potential to rewire government to create more responsive services – but delivery is tied to the skills and capabilities of digital leaders.
In this session, civil service leaders will discuss how governments can put digital leadership at the centre of government decision-making. We will discuss the structures and mechanisms to drive performance, including how government departments can elevate digital leaders to drive transformation, and how to empower leaders to implement high-impact digital projects.
We will discuss:
- How government leaders can drive transformation by providing leadership – and how to develop performance reviews that tie senior civil servants more closely to government and departmental priorities and citizen-focused outcomes.
- The role of the centre of government to empower departmental leaders by streamlining approvals for high-impact digital projects.
- The potential to link senior civil servant performance more clearly to the delivery of measurable citizen outcomes and government priorities, sharing best practice from around the world to shift the focus from inputs to delivery and results.
