Five teams participated, from four departments:   Canada Revenue Agency Department of Fisheries and Oceans Department of National Defence Canada School of Public Service In this cohort, teams focused on internal-facing challenges and solutions, including new employee onboarding, simplifying procurement processes, improving internal access to data, supporting employee training and learning, and making operational decisions using data and insights. As a team, they worked together to pinpoint their users’ needs, improve their digital skills, explore their problems from multiple angles, identify different solution options, develop prototypes and test with users. At the end of the program, the teams pitched their solutions to more than 400 public servants from across the country who participated in Demo Day.   Interested in learning more about the teams’ solutions and experiences?
