What’s In Store for 2024

As the public sector adapts to evolving demands and economic fluctuations, Government Agencies must prioritise operational excellence.

This entails pinpointing inefficiencies and seizing opportunities to reduce costs, manage risks, and boost efficiency. It’s crucial to uphold top-notch service standards to meet the expectations of citizens.

The Operational Excellence Roadshow 2024 aims to align people, processes, policies, and technology for operational effectiveness, citizen satisfaction, and sustainable value.

Priorities include clear vision, process innovation, collaborative governance, data-driven decisions, and digital transformation. By emphasising citizen-centricity and operational excellence, the ANZ Government can elevate public service quality.
