State government technology leaders are under increasing pressure to modernize legacy systems, improve constituent experiences, strengthen cybersecurity and deliver measurable business outcomes — all while navigating budget constraints, workforce challenges and rapidly evolving technologies.

In response, many states are expanding their digital services strategies by adopting new approaches to service delivery.   Leveraging human-centered design, agile development, data-driven decision making and emerging technologies such as AI, these teams are helping governments deliver value faster and more effectively than traditional approaches.

Join the Center for Digital Government for a conversation with state leaders who are building digital services organizations across the country. Drawing on lessons learned from successful state initiatives, this webinar will explore how governments are organizing for innovation; accelerating the delivery of high-impact services; and balancing rapid transformation with enterprise governance, architecture and security requirements.


You'll gain insights into:

  • The evolving role of Digital Services organizations and approaches in state government
  • How leading states are delivering business outcomes and improving constituent experiences faster
  • Strategies for integrating innovation with enterprise architecture, governance, and cybersecurity
  • Emerging opportunities to leverage AI and other technologies to modernize service delivery


As states continue to rethink how government services are designed, delivered and measured, the Center for Digital Government brings together the leaders and practitioners at the forefront of this transformation. Register today to hear directly from state executives driving the next wave of digital government innovation.
