Deloitte launches think tank to shape future governments

The new initiative by Deloitte aims to bring together leading experts in government and digital transformation to advance critical sectors

Deloitte Middle East has officially unveiled the “Future of Government” think-tank. The initiative seeks to bring together top experts in government affairs and digital transformation to chart a course for the future in key areas such as finance, human resources, procurement, technology, and decision-making.

Muhannad Tayem, who leads the Government & Public Services division at Deloitte Middle East, said, “This think-tank aims to support governments in the region to channel their vision into practical pathways and solutions to improve the lives of their citizens. This, in turn, requires developing new ways of working, to re-imagine how processes and policies need to evolve with the accelerating rate of technological advancement, which will have a far-reaching impact on society, the economy, and the planet.”

The “Future of Government” think-tank is set to leverage Deloitte’s wealth of expertise, serving as a catalyst for the adoption of innovative emerging technology solutions, each tailored to the unique needs of different government entities. Through this endeavour, the think-tank aims to develop a roadmap that empowers governments to embrace new working methods, fostering continuous innovation and progress.

Faisal Darras, a partner at Deloitte Middle East, highlighted the pressing need for governments in the region to lead in the adoption of the latest technology and innovations that genuinely enhance the lives of their citizens. He remarked, “Our government clients in the region want to lead the way on the latest technology and innovations that make a difference to their citizens’ lives. At Deloitte, we look to provide solutions that enable government entities to extract the maximum value from emerging technologies and by enhancing their cloud computing capabilities, which helps grow their efficiency and productivity.”

The “Future of Government” think-tank is expected to become a catalyst for transformation in public services, harnessing the power of innovation, technology, and strategic thinking to drive positive change. The initiative aligns with the growing importance of digital transformation and its role in shaping the future of governments and the well-being of their citizens across the Middle East region.

Deloitte Middle East’s commitment to fostering collaboration and innovation within the public sector positions the “Future of Government” think-tank as a driving force in enhancing the effectiveness and responsiveness of governments in the modern age. This initiative promises to pave the way for a future where governments are at the forefront of technological advancement, ultimately improving the lives of the people they serve.
