Digital Government & CX Roadshow 2022

Nova Scotia, Canada

Roadmap to a Successful Digital Transformation As service delivery moves further into the virtual realm, a strong digital transformation strategy is paramount for all levels of government. Identifying the needs of citizens, gaining trust through reliable and secure services, and striking the right balance between innovation and practicality is essential to success and progress. Designing digital services which are accessible, inclusive and citizen-centric is an absolute must. By committing to inclusive and innovative design, the public sector can create exceptional products and services. To achieve this, internal buy-in and a culture that is receptive to change is paramount. Embracing a digital mindset and adopting the technologies to facilitate change is key to success. To optimize your digital transformation journey, Digital Government & CX Roadshow 2022 will bring together public sector leaders to explore the most efficient strategies to help you gain internal buy-in and develop a roadmap for your digital transformation. This series will head to 5 Canadian cities, from coast to coast, to highlight emerging trends, future opportunities, and the barriers to successful digital transformation.

Beyond accessibility: Meaningful inclusion in citizen experiences

Nova Scotia, Canada

Details This month, we continue on from last month's focus in the area of accessibility and inclusion. Join us on Wednesday, September 28th as we listen and learn from Beth Fox, Strategic Engagement Advisor with the Canadian Digital Service. Many UX and service design professionals find themselves advocating for their users within their product teams, and their larger organizations. Increasingly, we're being asked to help improve not just usability, but also accessibility in experiences. In this talk, Beth encourages us to stretch beyond what we might think of as accessible by providing real-world examples of how inclusion (or a lack of it) impacts all facets of services and design. Beth Fox is a public servant with over a decade of bringing user experience and service design skills to public service challenges. As a founding member of the Nova Scotia Digital Service (NSDS), Beth spent years as a user researcher and service designer, advocating for the people who use government services. In her work at the province, she was an advocate for how human-centered design improves the delivery of services. A long-time collaborator across boundaries, Beth recently made the move from the provincial to the federal public service. This summer she […]
