- Justify the case for digital transformation
Government agencies are under mounting pressure to perform tasks efficiently, store information securely, and satisfy their constituents. When taking into account operating budget and the outdated legacy case management systems on which these organizations are forced to rely, the challenge is readily apparent. Critical information is often spread across multiple disconnected platforms, making the case management process disorganized and inaccurate. A digitized case management system eliminates these information ‘silos’ and creates a single access point across every channel. Not only will this allow departments, agencies and caseworkers to provide better public services, but government employees will be able to pursue more productive tasks with the time previously spent scouring for information.
- Set your digital priorities and strategize
What is your organization’s overarching goal? What are your priorities? As a government entity, you’re likely focused on providing quality service to citizens and constituents. However, your digital transformation could also be a facet of a broader cost-cutting initiative. Knowing how you intend to maximize the benefits of the transformation will guide you through the process more quickly and give you the results that your organization needs. Create and manage a detailed strategy that incorporates your organization’s unique needs and goals.
- Ensure that government leaders are playing meaningful roles in your digital initiatives
Lead by example. Leaders should man the helm of any digital transformation effort. These individuals can provide both internal and external resources that will keep the process moving smoothly. In addition, demonstrating a focus on digitization affects the entire organization from the top down, creating a digital culture centered around smarter, more efficient practices.
