Episode Description from the Publisher

Ireland's Government CIO Louise McKeever returns for part 2 to talk about what it actually takes to join up government services around citizens.Louise takes us inside: 🔹 Digital building blocks — the reusable infrastructure (gov.ie, e-forms, payments, messaging, a digital wallet) that means departments don't have to rebuild the same systems 🔹 Leading without authority — how you coordinate a whole government's worth of independently governed departmental CIOs toward one shared goal 🔹 Data as a national asset — and why citizen trust has to come before the benefits 🔹 Digital sovereignty — what "resilience and control" really means for Ireland during its EU presidency🔹 Life events — how registering a birth, a bereavement, further education and social housing are being redesigned as one simple experience, hiding the departmental complexity behind themMissed Part 1? Catch Louise's earlier conversation on delivering Intreo and Agile at Scale in Irish government.🎧 Transform Gov is part of the Ireland eGovernment Awards, brought to you in partnership with Accenture.📅 The Ireland eGovernment Awards and Leadership Summit take place 24 September at O'Reilly Hall, UCD.
