CERGAS Webinar "The reality of government digital transformation: insights from the front lines"

Why do many social service digitalization projects fail? Why, despite substantial investments, have tactics like "agile development" and "co-production" had mixed results in many governments? I will share insights from my experience as a leader on digital service teams in the United States (18F) and Canada (Canadian Digital Service). In particular, I will share case studies about modernizing benefits delivery in Canada, and changing government contracting and hiring in the United States.
