Update: Publication of the GC Digital Talent Strategy
The GC Digital Talent Strategy is now published on canada.ca. Built on the GC Digital Standards, the Strategy took shape through extensive consultation across the federal public service. A big thank you to the GCDigital community for providing thoughtful feedback on all iterations over the past months!
Aligned with Canada's Digital Ambition, the strategy focuses on Strategic Theme 4: a structural evolution in funding, talent, and culture. It prioritizes supporting fully digital delivery through managing a government-wide culture shift (Priority 4.1) and building a workforce for digital-first delivery (Priority 4.2).
Advancing the Strategy: Implementation roadmap with performance indicators for the Strategy is currently in development. Similar to the renewed GC Data Strategy, it will include actions, sub actions, and leads. The first iteration will be shared on GCxchange in the coming months for your contribution.Another Successful EXposition: unlocking your potential

FWD50, the annual gathering of digital government and public sector innovation, took place from November 6-8, 2023, in Ottawa, ON, and online.
The Office of the Chief Information Officer, in collaboration with partners such as the Canada School of Public Service, Government of British Columbia, Government of Alberta, and Code for Canada, hosted two insightful sessions during the event.
During the full-house workshop, Practices and tools to attract, retain, and develop talent, speakers explained their tried-and-true best practices to help ~75 participants build digital talent in their own organizations.
Participants reflected on their own positive recruitment, retention, and development experiences, and some highlights include:
- Recruitment: Understanding the mission and the impact of their role, easy and transparent hiring, modern tools
- Retention: Professional development, lateral mobility, interesting and meaningful problems to solve, talent management, career ownership
- Development: Sufficient time to learn and apply new skills, mentorship, experiential or on-the-job learning
