Agenda

The Path to Digital Transformation

Guy Gordon, Executive Director, Innovation and Service Delivery, Department of Finance, Province of Manitoba

Robotic Process Automation, AI and Virtual Assistants are currently being employed by Canadian governments and agencies with much more to come. Senior Managers are turning to financial professionals to advise and support them in the adoption and use of digital tools, services and mindsets. What are the immediate and medium term strategies and tactics financial professionals can employ to address the challenges of digital disruption? This session will draw on case studies from Manitoba and across Canada to explore your path forward.

Picking a CFO’s Brain

Have you ever wanted to have a group of senior public sector financial leaders in the same room and just have at them with questions?

Well the fmi*igf South-East New Brunswick Chapter is giving you the chance to do just that. We have convened an excellent panel of Chief Financial Officers (CFOs) from the Federal government who will provide insights into their daily lives and what keeps them up at night – the challenges, opportunities, emerging trends, and how they deal with them.

Our wonderful panelists are:

• Jen O’Donoughue, Assistant Deputy Minister and Chief Financial Officer of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO)
• Arun Thangaraj, Assistant Deputy Minister, Corporate Planning, Finance and Information Technology of Global Affairs Canada (GAC)
• Philippe Thompson, Chief Financial, Results and Delivery Officer of Indigenous Services Canada (ISC)
• Stéphane Lagacé, Chief Financial Officer of Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA)

The panel will be moderated by Janic Godin, who has more than 20 years of experience working as an MC and facilitator in Atlantic Canada and elsewhere in the country.

Come and learn from these great leaders and bring your questions – another opportunity like this one might be a long time coming!!!

Dynamic senior leaders, from both inside and outside Government, will share their perspectives on the various government priorities by sector: Economic Policy Priorities; Social Policy Priorities; and Innovation as a top priority.

This PD Day is ideally suited for those involved in delivering on these key priorities, new entrants to the public service, aspiring leaders, those involved in strategic policy, program delivery, financial management or strategies and federal budget submissions. The PD Day will also be of interest to those who are clients of these initiatives and those who wish to understand interactions between departments and central agencies, and the Federal Budget process.
