Thursday 13 February 2020 | Professor Lemuria Carter
From the hacking of Australia’s first digital Census, to Centrelink’s debt-recovery glitch debacle, the pursuit of functional e-government for Australians has clearly had its teething problems. However, in a time of rapid technology adoption, digitising government services has compelling benefits for citizens, industries and governments alike, so long as digitisation is well considered. Deloitte Access Economics estimated that Australia’s federal and state governments currently conduct 811 million citizen transactions each year. Growing this figure would certainly enhance productivity costs, but with this comes the core challenge faced by many sectors undergoing digital transformation – data management.
At our first Learn@Lunch presentation for 2020, Professor Lemuria Carter will explore the issue of data management within the public sector. As Head of the School of Information Systems and Technology Management, Professor Carter can unpack her research into select US government agencies to assess benchmarking techniques around data management maturity. From these findings, she will explore why data maturity is critical for multi-faceted government agencies, and how this can be best assessed going forward.
