A new report from Deloitte says that to accomplish a truly digital transformation, government agencies must “be digital” The report surveyed 800 government officials from eight different countries to assess the pandemic’s impact on the global digital transformation of government.
“Being digital” requires a mindset shift by government agencies, the report says.
The goal is not a fixed point but continued change, it says. It calls for digital technologies to be embedded across the agency and in its DNA.
Sixty-seven percent of government executives reported an increase in financial commitment to digital transformation.

The report was presented at the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland, on Tuesday.
The theme for this year’s conference was digital transformation, with a focus on digital transformation for government agencies.
