Developing Autonomous Data Competencies for Real Value & Analytics-Readiness

The concept of data integration can mean different things to different people, but for this purpose, it means “joining, combining or linking data from more than one source.” Generally, the data needs to have shared characteristics, so that it should be “about people or businesses,” and it can also be “integrated over time to create a longitudinal dataset.” But to really get the most out of the data, it also needs to interact with other datasets. For instance, “educational outcomes are not just affected by what’s happening in the classroom, they’re also affected by other things like health and family …

Achieving Digital Transformation across the Australian Public Service by 2025

Ultimately the Data Scheme is focussed on “increasing the availability and use of Australian government data,” so that it helps government to deliver services that are “simple, helpful, respectful and transparent,” allowing government to operate better. This creates great possibilities, and thus the ONDC is always optimistic, “believing that the best is always yet to come.” Data has largely become a “significant world currency,” with the volume of data “growing at an exponential rate.” In a practical Australian sense, during the global financial crisis a little over a decade ago, Australian government officials, who were involved in trying to alleviate …

Spotlight Interview - Spotlight Interview – Digital Government and CX ANZ Q2 National Insights

Government is in an interesting position when it comes to technology trends. The pandemic has accelerated the shift to digital interaction. 59% of citizens we surveyed recently told us they increased their use of government digital platforms since the start of 2020. App dedicated and mobile responsive applications are becoming expected by citizens, which in turn means the same functions and features are being compared to leading digital applications such as Uber. We are seeing approaches of user centered design and development become common practice, there is now much more focus on capturing the voice of citizen to make design …

Spotlight Interview - Hitting Digital Transformation Targets across the Public Sector

We are seeing more SAAS-based technologies which require a different mindset and capabilities. They will need to deal with evolved architectures, new procurement models and integration methods. We believe automation and orchestration will be significant factors in the SAAS world. The state of legacy technologies in organisations has been seen as a significant inhibitor. Most have adopted ‘quick fixes’ and workarounds to respond to essential services required in the midst of the pandemic e.g. remote office and online business activity. Unfortunately, a lot of these updates are temporary in nature and don’t provide a long-term solution. Organisations should be looking …

The impact of climate change on emergency management responses

Across Australia, the start of the pandemic also coincided with more floods, bushfires and other natural disasters. The week that COVID-19 was first detected in late December 2019, was also the week that the black summer bushfires began across eastern Australia. Since then, all emergency services have been over-stretched and at times, overwhelmed. When coupled with imposed limitations on movement, resource reallocation, and team and volunteer restrictions due to quarantine requirements, the COVID-19 pandemic has forced a reassessment of emergency management and pandemic response activities. Below we hear first-hand accounts from Dr Alan March, Professor, Urban Planning, Disaster Risk Reduction …
