Trends shaping the future
Responsible AI adoption
AI offers a generational opportunity to rethink how public services are designed and delivered. New directives and guidance—such as the AI Playbook and AI Opportunities Action Plan—are shaping direction, but adoption brings its own challenges. Departments must balance innovation with citizen protection, embed safe and ethical use across delivery teams, and share learning to turn pilots and proofs of concept into lasting value.
Tech-enabled savings
Financial transformation is the next frontier. Public sector tech leaders are embedding ROI frameworks from day one, using automation and data to generate measurable cost savings without multi-year overhaul programmes. When treated as a strategic asset rather than a sunk cost, digital investment becomes a catalyst for smarter spending, linking financial discipline with better outcomes for citizens.
Connected citizen journeys
With tools like OneLogin and Wallet, we’re closer than ever to seamless, cross-government journeys. The challenge now is cultural and organisational. When supported by ethical data sharing and interoperability, unified experiences become a reality. By aligning digital identity, shared data, and organisational intent, we can finally move from connected systems to truly connected services, simplifying citizens’ experiences and strengthening government trust.
