<h1 style="color:#3f2a56"><strong>Welcome</strong></h1><big>The CSPS Digital Accelerator provides an opportunity for established teams to learn about and practice collaborative, open, human-centered, and iterative ways to define problems and develop solutions. Through a mix of online self-paced and facilitated workshops offered virtually, participants will address a business problem facing their organization and work together to explore and prototype a user-centred solution to resolve it.</big> <br>

<h1 style="color:#3f2a56"><strong>Welcome</strong></h1><big>The CSPS Digital Accelerator is a transformative learning experience designed for product teams, including their leaders, who want to experiment with more collaborative, open, human-centered and iterative ways of defining problems and developing solutions in a modern government era. It combines hands-on workshops, peer learning, coaching and mentoring in support of teams as they explore real business problems and prototype and test solutions with users.</big>

The Accelerator builds on the success of the first two cohorts of the CSPS Digital Academy’s Premium program. We launched in Spring 2021, recruiting whole and pre-established teams. We are currently planning the second Accelerator cohort for Winter 2022.</big>

<br>In Winter 2022, CSPS had a second cohort of Digital Accelerator teams for an 11-week, completely virtual hands-on learning experience.  
<big><br>Thanks to our current partners for their support. If your team is interested in joining the Accelerator, please reach out to us to discuss. Participation in the Accelerator begins with a partnership. We look forward to working with you!</big>
+
 
 +
Eight teams participated, from seven different departments:  
 +
 
 +
* Canada Revenue Agency
 +
* Department of Fisheries and Oceans
 +
* Indigenous Services Canada
 +
* Canada School of Public Service
 +
* Transport Canada
 +
* Employment and Social Development Canada
 +
* Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada
 +
 
 +
 
 +
In this cohort, teams focused on improving a self-service portal, collecting clean and consistent data to report on engagement, adapting data science work to attract new talent, creating safer devices for employees purposes, redesigning a Web interface, improving data management process, centralizing a reporting product for Business Analysts to make data and insights accessible and reportable and the referral process for field auditors and technical advisors.  
 +
 
 +
 
 +
At the end of the program, teams were able to work with digital tools and new approaches, be more fluent public servants in the digital sphere and each teams presented demos of their proposed solutions to more than 600 public servants from across the country who participated in the CSPS Digital Accelerator’s Demo Day.
