Mark Thompson (confirmed)
Lecturer in Information Systems, Judge Business School
“The death of the vertical: what transforming really means”
For many, 'transformation' has come to mean little more than leaning and outsourcing existing functions, with a bit of 'shared services' thrown in. The reality is very different. Public services stand on the threshold of a tech-driven reorganisation of public service delivery that will change the way people think about services forever.

Case Study
David Moody (confirmed)
VP Product Marketing, KANA
“Transformation through technology is impossible!”
The case studies covered in this session will show how real public sector organizations from across the world have transformed their service delivery through a combination of technology, people and processes. In addition to the role of technology in each case, it will also cover how the people involved (including their vision and their ability to get buy-in) and the processes employed (because transformation typically requires a different way of working) have been critical to success.
