From Black-Box to Open Book: Governance Strategies to Successfully Transition Government to Open Source

Join us as we explore the challenges and lessons learned during a digital transformation from proprietary to open systems for a critical government client in Canada. This session will provide practical insights and strategies to help keep your large-scale projects on track, including:

Building Partnership, Trust, and Accountability at the program level,

Making effective technology decisions when navigating multiple parameters and competing priorities,

Cultivating a forward-thinking growth mindset with partners, vendors, and clients for long-term success.

Using real-world examples from a recent government project, we’ll demonstrate how to replace an unstable proprietary system with a robust, adaptable open-source platform that meets the fast-changing needs of users and stakeholders. This session is particularly valuable if you are considering or currently undergoing a technological transformation within a Canadian government context or managing partnerships between government agencies and technical partners.
