Big #DigitalGov news in Nova Scotia this week. Onwards and upwards! 📈

"Nova Scotians expect programs and services that respond quickly to their needs and are delivered in a way that is best and most convenient for them.

To help the government do that better, it has created the Department of Cyber Security and Digital Solutions, which will transform the way services are developed and delivered, as well as enhance cybersecurity."

He loves #localgov, #digitalgov, innovation, ⁦@BaltCityHall⁩, AND hates the beach?! It’s the best/worst combo ever: Podcast: Integrating Data with Justin Elszasz, Baltimore, MD - ELG https://elgl.org/podcast-integrating-data-with-justin-elszasz-baltimore-md/

"The culture in most large organisations is one which pays more attention to risks than the needs of its users. That’s changing, slowly, but there is still a lot of risk aversion. 

The focus is often on the potential for reputational damage rather than the failure of a product to meet the needs of its users in the first place."

"Inclusion Bot is not a language policing tool, nor is it a disciplinary tool. The bot cannot understand context – it is a blunt instrument. As a result, we offer it as a tool to help TTS staff identify accidental non-inclusive or hurtful language. It is meant to help us learn. Intentionally harmful or exclusionary language is a matter for management to address, not a bot."

"Rather than modernize just one service at a time, it's the underlying organizational conditions that need to be transformed — anything less is futile."

Struggling with how to build #DigitalGov delivery capabilities in small < 1000 person #service organizations. Is smaller more likely to be more #agile or to resist and cling to what they know.
