Public Sector Smart Working: Digital Transformation and Enhancing Productivity

In this pre-conference networking session, delegates will be able to introduce themselves to fellow attendees, explain their role and discuss their learning objectives for the conference.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a hugely disruptive impact on traditional models of working within the public sector. Digital solutions have been used to bridge the gap, often to great success.

The Scottish Government’s recently published Digital Strategy looks to build on these foundations and reimagine how the public sector can work and deliver services by harnessing a variety of GovTech solutions.

In this session we will examine the Scottish Government’s vision for GovTech solutions.

The organisations which have proactively supported a smart working agenda are those which are more likely to thrive in a post-pandemic world of work.

To do this though, you need to secure the buy-in of your staff, by ensuring that they are involved in the design process of transformation from the outset.

This session will look at how organisations can adopt a holistic, smarter working culture by placing user experience at the heart of the design process for transformation.

During our lunch break delegates will be able to set up individual meetings with sponsors and fellow attendees to build new working relationships.

In our interactive discussion session, our attendees will be able to have their say on the issues that matter to them most and exchange ideas and best practice with colleagues from across Scotland. The topic of discussion will be decided by a poll at the beginning of the conference.

In our final session we will draw together the threads of the previous sessions with an in-depth real-life case study from Dundee & Angus College who will demonstrate how various departments worked together to create a resilient, innovative, smart working environment.
