“Several digital leaders struggled to pinpoint specific government initiatives in the digital technology space this year,” the report said. “Some leaders say they ‘haven’t really heard much about what they’re doing at all’, while others ‘struggle to see what they’ve done.’”
A common view was that government restructuring and shifting priorities had sidelined digital technology and this was seen by many as a missed opportunity.
“There is a strong perception that the government lacks a coordinated and strategic approach to digital transformation, with some leaders stating, ‘we don’t have a digital ambition’,” the report said. “While there may have been enthusiasm and rhetoric, many feel it has yet to translate into meaningful action.”
