Innovative CIO Strategies for Value-Centric Transformation and Citizen-Centric Excellence
Our research with Government CIOs and IT Leaders highlights that digital transformation isn't just about innovation; it's a strategic pathway to drive our nation forward. These leaders are at the forefront of this journey, bridging the gap between innovation and public service excellence. They grapple with a multitude of challenges, from seamlessly integrating new technology with existing infrastructure, bolstering cybersecurity, to ensuring digital equity – all with an eye toward delivering more transparent and efficient services to citizens.
The DigiGov Leaders Summit is the annual event for Aotearoa New Zealand's public sector IT leaders and vendors to address these challenges in the next 12 months.
The 2024 Summit will focus on how Government CIOs and IT leaders drive value-driven transformation and services, foster trust, and co-design initiatives to enhance citizen outcomes, reflecting the critical challenges and opportunities in today's rapidly evolving technological landscape.
