About the session
Operational transformation is an intricate dance between maintaining the stability of essential services and fostering innovation to better serve citizens - against a backdrop of technology disruption, policy shifts, social change and fiscal constraints. How can government organisations redesign and improve the way they operate - internally and externally - to increase efficiency, effectiveness, and adaptability?
- Technological Integration: How can emerging technologies be effectively integrated into existing processes without disrupting service delivery?
- Process Reengineering: How should we approach reassessing and reengineering existing processes to increase efficiency and transparency - without disrupting the provision of services?
- Organisational Culture Shift: What role can organisational culture play in driving successful operational transformation - and how can resistance to change be mitigated?
