Overview

June 8

As state and local government processes have grown increasingly complex over the past several years, the public sector has seen a widening efficiency gap. Organizations keep acquiring new solutions to streamline workflows, but the machinery of government just gets more and more complicated. Technologies aimed at improving operations just add new layers of complexity and frustration.

It’s time to rethink the entire DNA of government operations, to remap workflows from scratch and reimagine service delivery for constituents. This effort isn’t about shiny new technology tools. It’s about true systems transformation to help meet the critical mission needs of the public sector.

Join us June 8 for a special virtual discussion on the foundational challenges facing government today – and how forward-thinking leaders can confront those challenges head-on. Our panel of experts will explore issues such as:

What the pandemic really taught us about what’s possible in government, and how to operationalize that in the future
How to engage in “process mining” to identify and eliminate inefficiencies
How governments can work with strategic partners to de-risk transformation initiatives
