This September the Queensland Government unveiled its Digital 1st: Advancing our digital future strategy for 2017-2021. The plan calls for government to work closely with industry to get more services online and remove any manual processes. Minister for Innovation, Science and the Digital Economy and Minister for Small Business Leeanne Enoch said DIGITAL1ST: Advancing our digital future will help position Queensland as a leader in “digital government”.

 

The digital 1^st strategy has been set out in mind of eight principles and four proprieties. The four priorities are the foundation of the strategy they include people, collaboration, connectivity and trust. These priorities are the focus of the digital 1^st efforts.

 

The eight principles include:

•          Solve the right problem
•          Digital by default
•          Create unified digital experiences
•          Prefer open over closed
•          Make it secure by design
•          Harness skills and experience- from inside and out
•          Leave no-one behind
•         Experiment, learn and improve
