Unified Customer View - Customer Master Record Solution (CMRS) and Data Management Platform (DMP)
City of Sydney desires to improve our understanding and the way we communicate with our customers and stakeholders. Initially this will be by development of a trusted Customer Master Record Solution (CMRS), bringing together our disparate customer records. This will allow us to make updates across all relevant systems, facilitating excellent customer service and streamlining internal processes. It is envisaged that the solution will be developed on a Data Management Platform (DMP), which should improve Data Quality and reinforce Data Governance.
Via an open Expression of Interest, companies will be invited to propose their capability and solutions. They will be evaluated by their proposals for inclusion in a subsequent paid engagement to demonstrate abilities, proof of concept and innovative value add. During this engagement, companies will have the opportunity to better understand the problems, request additional information, and identify opportunities for unique value add.
Selection for a final contract award will be by evaluating the deliverables at the end of the engagement.
If you are interested in being involved in this upcoming Expression of Interest, please provide your contact details in this link by the 18th of October 2019 to be notified when this event opens.

Monica Barone
Chief Executive Officer.

Rethinking the digital dividend: Government needs to deliver better citizen digital experiences. Deloitte and Adobe.
Australian government agencies are making the transition to digital experience platforms.
Improved digital experiences have higher levels of satisfaction and can improve perceptions of government effectiveness and trust. This is important because trust in the Federal Government has been declining - from 49% in 2015 to just 42% in 2019. And while trust can wax and wane over time for a variety of reasons, Australia currently sits within the ranks of 16 national governments worldwide that are more distrusted than trusted (Edelman, 2019).
This eBook suggest that Governments need to renew their commitment to digital transformation – not with more 'IT projects' - but by focusing on improving and simplifying citizen experiences of government services, though better use of data and build digital platforms that support it.

Guide to Developing a National Cybersecurity Strategy - ITU
The National Cybersecurity Strategy Guide, is aimed at providing an aggregated and harmonised set of principles and good practices on the development, establishment and implementation of national cybersecurity strategies.
Facilitated by ITU, twelve partners from the public and private sectors, academia and civil society agreed to share their experience, knowledge and expertise, producing a Guide that gathers existing know-how from the participating organisations as well as providing references to complementary publications, in order to ease access to available resources.
Cybersecurity is a fundamental factor in achieving socio-economic development. Yet, only seventy-six countries around the world have, publicly available, national cybersecurity strategies. It is therefore imperative to boost efforts to produce them. As the title suggests, the objective of the Guide is to instigate strategic thinking and help national leaders and policy-makers to develop, establish and implement national cybersecurity strategies

Data is now seen as a key resource and artificial intelligence applications are being used more and more by businesses and governments for decision-making, optimization and automation. It is becoming increasingly clear that if these activities are badly managed, people can suffer harm as a result of bad decisions, thoughtless design, and embedded prejudices. This session will explore the practicalities of:

Understanding the broader impact and risks of data design decisions.
Engaging the right stakeholder groups to ensure these risks are mitigated.
Making trade-offs in the design process.

Passiona Cottee collaborates on projects at the nexus of data, automation, privacy and ethics across both public and private sectors. She currently works as data scientist at the CBA and a sessional lecturer in privacy law at UTS. Passiona fuses Bachelor, Graduate and Masters qualifications in law and data science to enable the ethical use of machine learning.

Dr Matt Beard is a husband, dad, pop culture nerd and moral philosopher with an academic background in applied and military ethics. He is an Associate Lecturer at the University of Notre Dame Australia. Matt is also a Fellow at The Ethics Centre, undertaking research into ethical principles for technology.
