Welcome to Digital
Disruption for
Government 2015
Dear Colleague,
Australia has one of the highest rates of mobile
penetration in the world. Back in 2010 only 24% of
citizens had a mobile. Fast forward to 2015 and that
number is 78% and rising. This has naturally led to
an explosion in the demand for digital channels for
government services.
With the private sector already experiencing the
effects of digital disruption, the public sector’s future
is at risk and the time is now for a digital response
strategy.
Digital disruption is no longer a choice. It is
a necessity.
The government and public sector needs to
undergo a drastic digital transformation to ensure
effectiveness of service delivery and ease of
compliance to improve cost effectiveness internally
and facilitate productivity within the larger economy.
This presents a significant challenge to the public
sector that is steeped in tradition, deeply conservative
and wary of change.
Digital Disruption for Government will investigate the
opportunities and threats of disruption. Featuring
insights from pioneers and though leaders from
federal, state and local government agencies who are
paving the way to the digital age. It will also feature
case studies from leading innovators in the public
sector, providing a forum to discuss a roadmap to
harness the power of digital in leading a progressive
and productive country.
Digital Disruption for Government will address 3
different aspects of disruption, linked to the 3 primary
functions of government:
n The role of government as an enabler of
economic growth and productivity and how
digital disruption is impacting this
n Harnessing digital technology to improve
productivity in the internal operations of
government departments
n Building citizen engagement and compliance in
the face of growing mobilisation and digitisation
of the public and private business
Looking forward to meeting you in October.
Kind regards,
Genelee Mazarello
Conference Director
Digital Disruption for Government 2015

WORKSHOP B
11:30-13:30
Identifying the Skills
and Capabilities
Critical for Digital
Transformation and
Strategies to Build
These
Digital transformation needs to be
driven by individuals with specific
skills. Skills that are traditionally part of
government organisations or usually
attracted to jobs within the public
sector. This poses a major challenge
because digital transformation can
only be effective if lead by the right
people with the right skills. But who
are these people? What are these
skills? And how does the public sector
build these?
n Identifying the key skills needed
to drive your digital transformation
strategy
n Identifying the types of people,
qualifications and jobs that match
these skills
n Attracting them to work in the
public sector
n Up skilling existing staff and
building digital literacy
n Empowering ‘Intrepreneurs’
n Collaborating with the public sector
and start-up community

14:40 The Importance of Partnerships in Driving disruption in the Public Sector:
Creating and Fostering Mutually Beneficial Partnerships for Successful Digital Transformation
In some cases digital transformation in the public sector may be held up by limited internal capabilities and technological resources.
With restrictive budgets and timeframes, partnerships offer a simple solutions, allowing the public sector to tap into the capabilities
and resources from a third party, like a different agency, the private sector and even start-ups. How does one create such a
partnership, where do you begin and how do you set it up to be mutually beneficial to both parties?
n Identifying limitations and gaps in your existing set up for digital transformation
n Solving the talent and skills shortage
n Finding and reaching out to the right partners

17:50 Driving Agricultural Productivity:
How Digital Technologies and Automation have
drastically Increased the Effectiveness of Irrigation
and Led to Improved Agricultural Productivity
This case study from Goulburn Murray Water goes to
show the far reaching influence of digital and the
opportunities it creates. The need for significant water
savings following the millennium drought was the main
driver behind this project with the goal of increasing
efficiency of irrigation and reducing the environmental
costs of water. By automating irrigation they giving
farmers and irrigators more control over the process
and also improving the quality of their life.
n Upgrading the irrigation framework using digital
technology and automation

on the environment and the organisation
n Addressing the paradigm shift and social challenges
Alan Arthur, CIO, Goulburn-Murray Water
16:50 Case Study: Empowering and Engaging Customers
Using Technology based Platforms and Interfaces
In a bid to reduce costs internally and drive better
outcomes for their stakeholders, the National Blood
Authority developed two online platforms that have
been successfully piloted in the country. One for
patients and one for providers. The former is designed
to empower patients to take their health and welfare
into their own hands, by giving them access to their
health records presented in a user friendly manner.
This has been rolled out to 600 patients and has lead
improved quality of healthcare and positive health
outcomes. Internally the project has lead to significant
savings for the NBA. The project has been so successful,
that the NBA has also been commissioned to work with
the Canadian health department on a similar project.
This is a big win for a relatively small government
department and goes on to show the lasting impact
that making the most of your own, limited resources can
have for customers and the entire system.
n Designing and developing the interface:
Putting an idea into practice
n Gaining acceptance from stakeholders and making
them partners
n Working around costs and limited budgets
n Re-skilling staff and re-organising teams

10:00 Finland Digital Transformation Roadmap and Journey so Far: Strategy, Implementation, Successes, Challenges
and Lessons Learned
Finland began its digital transformation strategy in 2011 with the goal of achieving ‘zero administration’. This meant, service
delivery that was seamless and intuitive and that can be accessed by citizens and businesses ‘without a thought’. Why was this
important to the government? 2011 wasn’t the best time for the Finnish economy, facing the after effects of the global economic
crisis, sanctions on its largest exporter and an aging population. The government realised the potential of digital as an enabler of
productivity and creator of new opportunities – deciding to invest in a digital revamp. This was a mammoth project and the risks
huge, with over 2000 government departments and 300 municipalities involved. Timo Valli, GCIO at the time was the main architect
of the change. He will share his experience of drawing up and implementing this revolutionary project.
n Changing the mindset and gaining buy-in of the stakeholders: government department, employees, citizens and businesses
n Navigating the mysteries of the political process
n Building capabilities: Skills and technology
n Working with a restrictive budget and grand objectives
n Answering questions about cyber security and risks
