Our Executive Think Tank Panel at the Future of South Australian Government Summit brought together a powerhouse of leaders: David Morris (SA Health), Jason Thomas (SA Housing Trust), Linda Abrams-South (COURTS ADMINISTRATION AUTHORITY), and Stuart Watt (Department of Primary Industries and Regions). The discussion tackled the evolving demands of digital transformation, with a strong focus on digital literacy and workforce alignment. Panellists emphasised the importance of maximising the existing workforce while leveraging virtual models for citizen and patient engagement. When it comes to strategic progress, the panel highlighted the balance between long-term vision and short-term wins. Governance, regular reviews, and a focus on foundational systems over flashy technologies emerged as essential for sustaining momentum and securing continued investments. Emerging tech and disruption took centre stage, with panellists underscoring the need for frameworks to manage new technologies safely. Testing innovations through pilots and proof-of-concept while maintaining clear use cases and guardrails ensures meaningful outcomes. The panel also addressed a vital challenge: how to communicate successes—even amid implementation hurdles—to drive stakeholder trust and inspire further innovation. 💬 What’s your strategy for balancing innovation with practicality in digital transformation? #FSTGOVSA #FSTMedia #FSTGovernment
