Overview

June 3

In March, as public sector leaders began issuing emergency orders for non-essential employees to work from home, one thing became clear: Public sector organizations need to accelerate their digital transformation for the digital age to remain productive and able to efficiently serve citizens. Government leaders will not only need to deliver on the needs of citizens, but also ensure their own employees are set up for success – today and in the future.
