Futureproofing the Digital Workspace

Public sector IT leaders are being asked to do more with less. Budgets are tighter, demand keeps rising, and the question has shifted from whether to modernise to how to fund it without it looking like more spend. This virtual roundtable is a peer discussion about those pressures, not a product pitch. We'll look at the workforce, governance, and continuity challenges shaping digital strategy, and how to plan for a future that is moving faster than most procurement cycles. A public sector customer will also share their first-hand experience of Nerdio, including what worked, what didn't, and what they'd do differently.

What you will take away

• Fund modernisation without adding spend. Attendees will explore how to make the case for change when budgets are fixed and demand is not, and how to reframe modernisation as a way to reduce cost rather than add to it.
• Treat digital experience as a workforce issue. With recruitment and retention under pressure, the quality of the digital workplace is now a staff-retention matter, not an IT nicety.
• Reframe resilience as a governance conversation. After recent public sector incidents, boards are asking harder questions about legacy exposure. This is about accountability and oversight, not security features.
• Know who owns the risk of standing still. VDI end-of-life is forcing the issue, but the bigger question is what happens to citizen services if nothing changes, and who is accountable if they are disrupted.
• Plan for change you. can't predict. With technology moving quickly and growing pressure to adopt AI, we'll discuss how to set strategy and make technology decisions that stay flexible as innovation accelerates.
