COVID-19 has massive implications for governments, including increased demand for public services and the need to improve resilience. To adapt, leaders must rethink governments’ roles and processes.
The public sector is adopting agile but not yet at scale.
Realizing the full potential of AI will take more than developing IT capabilities. The public must trust that its use will be both legal and ethical.
