GTEC 2011

Connected Government - Working Together to Better Serve Canadians

Given the need to work horizontally across departments and jurisdictions to improve service delivery and diminishing budgets, the pressure on governments to leverage efficient, secure, and reliable technologies has never been higher. In 2011, GTEC will help you prepare for the tsunami of change ahead by gathering delegates from across Canada to collaborate and participate in discussions on:

• Collaboration through connections -- connectedness within the public service at large and with the public they serve
• Completing the service loop -- working together and collaborating within the public service and with external partners to satisfy citizen and business expectations to provide better and a more seamless service experience
• Embracing the technology - Leveraging and renewing the technology and information infrastructure and deploying new and emerging technologies that promote more collaboration and connections
• Protecting the individual and government -- adopting and reinforcing the information policy and practices that are necessary to balance the demands for more connectedness ,convenience and transparency while at the same time protecting the privacy of the individual
• Examining the communities and organic organizations that are emerging in response to a more connected and mobile service provision environment
• Understanding the people and the relationships - cross-functional, cross jurisdictional, public-private partnerships that are emerging to provide better more seamless service
