What are On the Circuit Talks?

The Canada School of Public Service’s Digital Academy is pleased to launch its pilot of On the Circuit Talks. They are 45-minute, talk-show type, monthly sessions where we have lively, open discussions, including debates, on some of the most current and emerging digital-related topics that are top of mind. Public servants have long asked for discussions like this one. We’ve designed these Talks with you in mind. This is your chance to speak with us directly, share your ideas and insights. We’re including you in our discussions with experts.

Upcoming Session

Digital Identity- The Way of the Future?

The next Canada School of Public Service’s Digital Academy On the Circuit Talks is taking place on April 28, 2022, from 12:30 PM to 1:15 PM (ET). We want to hear your thoughts about digital identity and what it means for the Government and public service.

Particularly as we see an uptake worldwide, in contactless, digital technologies and solutions. Experts also expect the global mobile identity adoption to increase to over 850 million users by 2026. How does the public service make sure that we are equipped to respond to changes that come with increased use of digital identity?

Join in the discussion with Host Neil Bouwer, Vice President of Innovation and Skills Development Branch and Guest Tim Bouma, Director, Verification and Assessments, CIO Strategy Council as they unpack digital identity. Including what digital identity means; areas such as healthcare that are seeing the highest adoption; and how we address issues such as privacy, confidentiality, security and protection.
