The Open and Accessible Digital Workspace is an initiative facilitated by the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS), to co-create an ecosystem of open source digital services designed to help government and civic partners connect and collaborate.

Mission

Objectives

Mission: Make it easy 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.

Objectives: Develop an integrated network of universally accessible digital services that enable government and partners to share information and work together to create a better future for the people we serve.
Outcome
Outcome: Organizational intelligence, improved efficiency and collective action.

TBS initiated the Open and Accessible Digital Workspace to Provide:

  • A common set of widely open, accessible working tools for public servants and partners across sectors and jurisdictions to work together on civic projects 
  • Access to a set of digital services that meet public service's commitments to security, accessibility and language requirements.
  • Ability to quickly and easily adapt tools to individual team or project needs 
  • Reduction in time and resource costs by working and building together 
  • A way to co-create, adapt and develop workplace solutions that leverage the contributions and insights across teams and organizations
This project can not be done alone, therefore we have developed a partnership model to make it easy for groups to quickly join and become part of this initiative. Specifically, we are looking to develop a first cohort of partners for 2018-2019 to help with the first stage of development for the Open and Accessible Digital Workspace.
