Excellence in Digital Government Programme

17 August - 22 August 2025, Southern Sun Rosebank

This training aims to develop a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and critical success factors that need to be considered in considering the investment to spearhead the development of digital government. The programme comprises three main areas of knowledge sharing, and skills development organised.
 
The first area establishes the contours of digital transformation by navigating and dissecting the social and economic value induced by the adoption and proliferation of digital technologies. The second area focuses on mastering governance in the digital era by examining how government is impacted by digital technologies from administrative, sectoral and public service digitalisation perspectives. The third area focuses on a critical assessment of digital government strategies and the development of digital government capabilities.
