When Canada’s Ontario Digital Service (ODS) was shut down in 2024, it rocked #digitalgovernment discourse — the regional agency was known for its innovative approach to #transformation and was a forerunner of many similar agencies.🚀 Ryan Androsoff, Canadian Digital Service (CDS) / Service numérique canadien (SNC) co-founder, and current CEO of Think Digital, shares with GovInsider what the shutdown of ODS tells us about the role of digital agencies today, how Canada balances federal and state innovation, and the future of #digitaltransformation in Canada. https://buff.ly/3MFigMR 📍 Also check out GovInsider's brand new digital government directory, which maps different digital government initiatives globally: https://buff.ly/3MFijIx

I recently shared a few thoughts with GovInsider about what is happening with digital government here in Canada, and what some of the challenges yet to overcome are as many organizations that were created as part of the "digital government movement" in the 2010s start reaching the one-decade mark.

In a world where digital transformation is the new norm, the Institute on Governance has been working with our partners at Think Digital to be at the forefront of driving innovation in public sector training. Our Digital Executive Leadership Program (DELP) was one of the first public sector executive training programs in Canada to incorporate Virtual Reality into the classroom to help participants better understand how future technologies may reshape government and the workplace. In the case study below from Arthur VR, hear from DELP Director and Think Digital CEO and Founder Ryan Androsoff, as he shares his insights into the journey of using VR technology for training and the lessons learned along the way. https://lnkd.in/eVxrDASp
