This award is given to the department that best demonstrates an innovative approach to solving a need that benefited a section, division, the department, government as a whole or the general public.
The winner of this year’s award is Information Technology and Shared Services (ITSS) for their work in Digital Technologies in the response to COVID-19!
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the team at ITSS has stepped up and faced issues head on, tirelessly, and innovatively to ensure that normal government business could proceed.
In addition to their everyday work, the entire team at ITSS has demonstrated a culture of innovation that required collaboration, assessing a problem to be solved, breaking it down into its necessary components, gathering subject matter expertise, and executing in an efficient and effective manner.
The team at ITSS had the unique ability to execute innovative practices through strong partnerships of multi-disciplinary teams from across departments, crowns and agencies. This innovative spirit and across government buy-in has allowed for many new services that did not exist before!
Congratulations, to the entire team at ITSS!
