PANEL: TECHNOLOGY AS A STRATEGIC ENABLER AND LEADER

TRACK 2 – STRATEGIC

Aligning Innovation with Organizational Needs — Not Just Chasing Trends

In the Canadian public sector, technology should serve as a driver of strategic outcomes rather than a shiny new solution in search of a problem. Integrate technology into, and even lead, your business strategy by ensuring alignment with policy goals, citizen needs, and operational realities. Achieve a step-by-step action plan to:

  • Leverage technology as an enabler of mission-driven outcomes, rather than a disruptor.
  • Promote cross-department collaboration to ensure digital initiatives address real challenges.
  • Develop frameworks for responsible innovation that balance agility with governance.

Achieve your strategic goals through solutions that prioritize citizen outcomes, driven by technology.
