GTF - 5th November
Bridging the Gap: Digital Strategies for Financial Resilience

As technology, particularly in the field of AI evolves, local government organisations are under increasing pressure to accelerate digital transformation strategies.

This webinar welcomes sector experts and organisations to discuss ways that local councils can work more efficiently across departments, cut unnecessary costs, and modernise how they deliver public services using AI in particular - without compounding the risks around equity and inclusion.

Key focus areas

  • Procurement strategies: Evaluating and buying scalable, secure AI solutions for local councils.
     
  • Legacy integration [phased migration]: Overcoming technical hurdles when connecting AI to existing infrastructure.
     
  • Risk management: Addressing local data privacy, public trust, and governance frameworks.
     
  • Operational efficiency: Insight on reducing processing times and costs.
