Ireland’s Minister for Public Expenditure, Paschal Donohoe says Public Service Transformation Week will take place from 23 October.
He said the week would provide an opportunity to build on the success of previous national initiatives in supporting innovation and transformation across the Public Service.
“Formerly Public Service Innovation Week, the initiative is now reflects the ambition for broader transformation across the Public Service after the launch of the Better Public Services Strategy,” Mr Donohoe (pictured) said.
“This year, the week will explore how Public Service innovators can deliver on the vision of the new Better Public Services Strategy and will outline Ireland’s ambition to become a leader in digital public services through the forthcoming Life Events project.”
He said the week will see Public Service bodies host events such as workshops, webinars and in-person sessions sharing ideas and showcasing projects at a national level which provide better services for the Irish public.
“The Public Service Transformation Conference which opens the week is an opportunity to celebrate and showcase innovation in the Public Service, share learnings and best practice, and identify opportunities to collaborate and work together to solve pressing challenges and deliver improved services,” the Minister said.
“This year I am pleased to see a renewed emphasis on Public Service transformation and a clear focus on delivering enhanced services to the Irish people.”
A program of events planned as part of the week will be announced in early October.
