Transforming Public Sector Services with AI Excellence I am so proud and excited to witness the BC government's embrace of AI solutions, driving transformative change in public services. It's truly fulfilling and brings much joy for me to be able to leverage my creative abilities in crafting and designing digital solutions, including generative AI solutions, that serve both citizens and internal staff. Inspired by the City of Kelowna's success. Their use of Azure and OpenAI services marks a pivotal shift in public service delivery, raising the bar for efficiency and citizen-centric governance. From a digital-friendly 311 service powered by AI to accelerating planning permissions, AI is revolutionizing government operations. This achievement underscores AI's pivotal role in government digital transformation, offering endless opportunities to enhance operations and citizen engagement. empowers positive change and builds resilient communities. Designing these solutions is incredibly meaningful to me, as I highly value the chance to innovate and contribute positively to my community, city, and country through technology design. #AIinGovernment #DigitalInnovation #BCGovTech #CityofKelowna #BCgovernment #UXDesign #Creativedesign #Vancouver #BC #Intelligent #adaptation #BCpublicservice #Azure #AISearch #Human-centered design #HCD #Smartcity #SmartestCityinCanada #Canada

Great opening day at the Global Government Forum #Innovation2024 Conference in London. The main topics is of course Artificial Intelligence (AI), but it’s great to see the conversations move from AI “THE” solution to AI as a tool, to help take the civil service along with industry forward. Best quote of the day in reference to AI “none of us is smart than us all.” Really looking forward to day two, sharing learnings and working together to developer better public services. #Innovation2024 #InnovationLeadership #PublicServiceDelivery #DigitalTransformation #Government #PublicSector #GovernmentServices #CivilService #ITServices
