Digital Sourcing Network
We created the Digital Sourcing Network to encourage greater communication, collaboration and knowledge-sharing among those in the Australian Public Service in ICT procurement and digital sourcing roles. It is a place to find solutions, learn from the experience of others and learn how best to engage with industry.
We can build capability by bringing people together, forming networks on relevant topics, and addressing pain points. We also have an opportunity to participate in working groups to address significant previously identified capability gaps.
