Transformation

About the Special Interest Group

Transformation programs are changing the way local governments are serving their communities. Most public sector programs are facing similar challenges such as limitations around organisational silos, legacy technology platforms, traditional operations and legislation. This Special Interest Group offers staff working in innovation, transformation, smart cities, digital, service modelling and data governance the opportunity to collaborate on challenges, approaches and solutions. This group will enable meaningful conversations on various innovative frameworks and methodologies and sharing of lessons learnt. Being part of the Transformation Special Interest Group would allow you to meet and network with like-minded professionals who are tackling similar challenges and will create opportunities to share and collaborate.

This group will play a key role in addressing the strategic gaps and opportunities associated with evolving service models and new challenges that legacy technical platforms present. The discussions and reports from this group will be instrumental in advocating for the need to change and reform Council's processes and approach in the ever changing external landscape.

The following list represents some sample topics that would be considered as discussion topics:

  • Market insights and trends in transformation - speakers from organisations that are outside of council (from other industries) or from vendors
  • Change management
  • Specific project insights such as how Councils have approached particular topics such as enterprise architecture, data governance, cloud-based solutions, ERP etc.
  • Innovation
  • Service design
  • Digital transformation
  • Smarter cities
  • Customer/employee experience
  • Cultural change experiences required to support transformation (case studies)
  • Analytics and BI usage and tools

Online Teams community

This Special Interest Group is supported by an online community. We believe that accessing knowledge from individuals who work in a similar environment is invaluable and should never be underestimated. Our communities are only for people working in Local Government and there are many benefits to participating in them. They are a great way to keep in touch in between meetings, by asking your fellow colleagues questions and sharing resources. You can also see who else is involved and get in touch with them quickly.  Agendas, minutes, presentations and other resources will also be posted on the online community.
