In part two of Transform Gov 's interview with Barry Lowry, Ireland’s CIO we hear about what is coming down the track and why Ireland continues to be ahead of the curve when it comes to digitising access to public services. Barry shares insights on the sizable projects overseen by digital government and emphasises the importance of leveraging existing technologies within the public sector rather than redeveloping functions from scratch. Barry discusses the unique position of the Irish government, which enjoys the highest trust levels among OECD countries. The episode explores how digital government is adapting to the diverse needs of citizens. He discusses the innovative approach of organising services around life events such as births, marriages, and bereavements, which necessitates collaboration across public bodies to anticipate citizens' needs. We hear about the introduction of the digital wallet, a pioneering phase in Ireland's digital government efforts. #digitaltransformation #publicsector #digitalwallet #lifeevents #aiact #government #podcast Hosted on Acast.
