Thanks Lucy,
 
And we all look foward with anticipation, especially as you mentioned - a complete "Paradigm Shift"
 
I suppose this is a rallying point of  "change", in the overall equation of how we'd successfully, and
purposefully move forward.
 
Perhaps, one good starting point in this direction would be setting achievable "benchmarks", run up
to the next session, such that at that point, other than set new "sights" it will be worthwhile to assess
what has been achieved so far. Some kind of a "score card" or a "Report Card", if you would.
 
We need to transform all the good presentations, especially from Govt side, into discenible actions.
 
With enough said, let's keep up the good work, and all the best at Leisure Lodge..
 
Harry

Hello Harry,

 At the end of the day today and at the close of the summit tomorrow we will summarize the main action points.  You can expect this to be posted online immediately.

The industry can expect a paradigm shift across government in terms of embracing technology to help solve problems across virtually all ministries. Also, provision of data  from gov ( that is now digitized) will be easily accessible for industry to use eg for application development etc.

All in all, we can expect the momentum of automation, and digitization of records across government to increase.

Will post the actual summary online later today or tomorrow morning.

Thanks,

Kobia,

 

This is impressive. A really good starting point...., and let's keep it up..

 

So, what can the industry fraternity look forward to, at the end of this summit?  - A number presentations look  really

good. How do we actualize them...? As in, the way forward.

 

Harry
