Increasing Resilience and Sustainability in the Public Sector - Futurum Tech Podcast The Intelligent Enterprise Industry Series

This episode of the Futurum Tech Podcast - Interview Series is the sixth installment of our newly launched Intelligent Enterprise Industry Series — done in partnership with SAP — where I will be speaking with advisors and executives across ten different industries on how they are focusing on furthering their intelligent enterprise story. I'm excited to welcome Maria Mizell, an executive advisor for the public sector industry at SAP.

 

The Interconnected Public Sector

 

SAP recently partnered with Oxford Economics to conduct a research study to identify how an interconnected mindset can impact management as organizations attempt to navigate times of uncertainty, especially now during the COVID-19 pandemic. The report includes findings from 3,000 senior executives, including 300 from the public sector.

 

My conversation with Maria revolved around the following:

 

• The state of government today in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
• How many government organizations rely on outdated ways of working.
• How interconnectedness is impacting the effectiveness of these organizations.
• The changes we are seeing governments make in regards to interactions with citizens.
• The technologies that are enabling better citizen interactions at every level of government.
• The impact of the millennial workforce on the public sector.

 

Maria and I explored some of the findings of The Public Sector Transformation Imperative report, but I know we only scratched the surface. If you're interested in a comprehensive overview of the subject download The Oxford Economics report on the Interconnected Public Sector here.
