From Barriers to Breakthroughs: Continuing the Conversation on Public Sector Productivity and Technology

Available On-Demand

Join us for Part 2 of the "From Barriers to Breakthroughs: Exploring Productivity and Technology in the Public Sector" webinar series, where we delve deeper into the challenges and opportunities in improving public sector productivity through technology. Building on the insights from our previous session, this global webinar will bring together thought leaders to discuss the findings of the Economist Impact report, "Reimagining the Future of Public Sector Productivity."

In this session, we will explore critical questions such as:

  • Are employee and citizen satisfaction the best indicators of productivity?
  • What barriers to productivity are identified by executive and frontline leadership, and how can they bridge the gap in their perceived obstacles?
  • How can civil servants mitigate the impacts of inevitable administrative changes in government?
  • How does digital technology affect an agency’s resiliency?
  • Which areas do leaders see as having the most significant potential for digital technologies to improve their organization’s productivity, and what steps do successful organizations take?
  • What issue did public sector leaders overwhelmingly indicate as the most significant impediment to technology adoption, and what are the practical approaches to addressing it?

Moderated by Jennifer Robinson, SAS Global Strategic Lead, this session will feature Dave Rama as a thought leader, alongside Ratko Mutavdzic, Partner at Microsoft out of EMEA, as a panelist. This webinar is a unique opportunity for public servants worldwide to gain valuable insights and engage in meaningful discussions.

Don't miss out on this chance to continue the conversation and drive productivity breakthroughs in the public sector.
