The New Normal and How Cities Are Responding

​​​​​​​COVID has fundamentally changed commerce in all forms and has accelerated digital transformation across the economy. Cities face many of the same pressures. For example, they have already had to fundamentally change how employees work. Long-held views of accountability and controls have been shattered. The rise of e-Services has transformed service delivery by cities. Through it all, municipal leaders have learned that cities and their citizens require a level of agility that is difficult to achieve with current operating models and revenues. What role will IT play in this environment? In this session, we will examine the new IT investment priorities for cities operating in the new normal.

As an attendee, you will have opportunities to provide feedback and ask questions throughout the event. Please take advantage of this chance to engage with us during this dialogue.
