Webinar #01 - Leading digital transformation in the public sector
Leading a Digital Transformation in the Public Sector
Objective
The main goal of the Digital Leaders Program is to create a network of leaders
in the public sector with the skills to digitally transform their organizations in
order to deliver higher quality innovative public services to their citizens
Background
The Israeli Digital Leaders Program is designed to train outstanding leaders in
promoting digital innovation in the public sector and improving interfaces with citizens
through technology. At the root of the program is the conviction that in order to deliver
quality innovative public services, the civil service must evolve from ‘digital by choice’
to ‘digital by default’. Digitally transforming the public sector holds the power to not
only create more efficient services, but also, if implemented correctly, help bridge the
social, geographical and economic gaps of the 21st century.
Key issues to be addressed
- Choosing the right people to lead digital transformation in the public sector
- The core skills and tools needed by the digital leader
- Finding the right balance between theoretical training and on the job training
- Overcoming barriers in leading digital transformation in the public sector
- Engaging digital leaders in the mission of leading their organization on the day after
