We had some insightful shares at today’s PIT Briefing from the dedicated individuals who run the systems that keep us safe and assist us in times of extreme danger. A big thank you to Laura Poidevin (CDO, QPS) and Garth W. (CIO, QFES) Here are some recurring themes and insights: • Services continue to struggle with the transition from manual to digital forms. • Analytics and data control remain critical components of their roadmaps. • Aligning roadmaps toward key horizons and ensuring procurement aligns with their vision, mission, and principles. Garth is well on this journey, while Laura is still deep in the discovery phase. • Balancing progress with high-velocity operations and risk management. • From the Q&A: There’s a budget to experiment with emerging technologies in Queensland, but no clear pathway to do so. Lastly, during this NAIDOC Week, Chris McLaren (QGOV, CDO) shared a powerful message about “Real digital jobs on country.” As an industry, we need to focus on how we engage. For us, this means our annual UQ First Nation Scholarship, and in September, we’ll be welcoming InspireU’s cohort into our office. For more information, check them out here: InspireU at UQ.
