Government 5.0: The future of public services

In the public sector, the future of government services goes well beyond citizen centric services, or whole-of-government approaches to service delivery and gravitates toward whole-of-life service delivery. Understanding the citizen model, not through a government lens, but holistically, is the focus. In 5.0, public service providers are asking where they can fit in their customers’ lives, rather than the other way around of “where do customers fit in providers’ processes”. 

 

“Last year, $1.5 Trillion was spent on Digital Transformation efforts. And, according to World Economic Forum only 1% of those initiatives are going to reach their goals.”

Professor Marek Kowalkiewicz.
Keynote address, Government 5.0: the future of public services, Brisbane, 20 August 2019.
