The Digital Collaboration Division (DCD, formerly known as the GCTools) will develop an integrated network of accessible digital services that enable government and partners to share information and work together to create a better future for the people we serve. This transition will make it easier for employees, teams, organizations and partners to work together and reach their goals by providing the best access to the people, data, information and tools they need to do their jobs with excellence. Note that we are rebranding! Watch for a new look and feel, as we phase out Project Meerkat and GCTools branding.<br>

More recently, as part of the 2018 Innovation Fair, a live digital brainstorming session took place on GCcollab on Indigenous approaches to policy and evaluation, an Indigenous GBA+ lens, and digital transformation in the way that federal departments and agencies use online platforms to work for and with Indigenous peoples. The brainstorming collected as many considerations and solutions as possible to employ a decolonizing strategy for conducting research and co-creating knowledge.
 +
<br>
 +
<br>
 +
The ideas generated from the brainstorming session will feed into the wider transformation engagements taking place at Indigenous Services Canada (ISC) & Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs (CIRNA) and advance the development of a CIRNA Indigenous evaluation framework and approach. The findings from these sessions will also inform a department-wide Indigenous Co-Creation Framework for delivering respectful, meaningful and culturally sensitive collaboration with Indigenous partners and clients developed by the 2018 Audit and Evaluation Summer Internship Team.

With partners in Canada and around the world, the DCD is here to help governments and their partners work together, in the open, to create a better world. How? By developing an accessible digital workspace – with open source solutions, open standards, and light-weight partnerships to help us get it right.
 +
The world is networked, but in many ways, governments are still working in silos. And that’s an barrier for many groups who want to solve the tough challenges that affect us all.

 +
<br>
 +
<br>
 +
Within the DCD, we’re responsible for developing, enhancing, maintaining and promoting the GCTools (GCcollab, GCconnex, GCpedia and more!). Our vision is to create a single collaborative public service and to encourage new ways of working in an open, transparent, digital environment. The client service operations are part of the user experience (UX) and design team within DCD. The team guides and informs the work towards designing and building better collaboration tools and user experiences using a variety of research and design methods. We work with a multidisciplinary team to incorporate people-centric thinking from problem definition to post-launch iteration. Our priority is to have an in-depth understanding of our users. We ask thoughtful research questions, synthesize insights, develop and evaluate concepts or prototypes, and assist with launches and releases.
