Digital transformation of public services has been massively accelerated by Covid-19
That’s Transformation for Good
As the digital transformation of public services continues, governments’ ability to interact responsively and seamlessly with citizens online, and to hold and use massive amounts of data in a secure and innovative way, is critical. Data has huge power when it is joined up and underpinned by citizens’ trust in government – not only to deliver more efficient services but to act faster and to detect, anticipate and pre-empt needs and events in fast-changing times.
When governments have control over their national sovereign data in the cloud and apply new technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), automation and blockchain to trigger timely actions and generate new insights, they can not only do things more efficiently, they can do things differently and provide effective leadership in an age of serious global challenges and disruption
