Satoko Shisai | Courtesy of Satoko Shisai This series explores topics surrounding women who began their careers in Japan around the time of the implementation of equal opportunities employment legislation in the mid-1980s. With many now reaching the age of retirement, it is hoped that their stories can provide insight and lessons for women in Japan’s professional world today. It is no secret that foreign-owned employers, gaishikei in Japanese, have long attracted and benefited from ambitious top female Japanese graduates joining their ranks. These women have long been frustrated by the implicit and explicit gender bias that stubbornly plagues traditional Japanese companies. Typically more meritocratic than seniority- or gender-driven firms, the gaishikei work environment, often requiring English communication between headquarters and global offices, also aligned well with these women’s penchant for better language skills. IBM, which entered Japan in 1937, is a large-scale employer — over 305,300 strong as of 2023, according to IBM’s annual report — whose investment in local female talent from the early days deserves particular credit. Many women eventually graduated from IBM Japan to build prominent careers and serve as role models for younger generations; many are still active. One of these pioneers is Yukako […]

Meet the Women in GovTech 2024. Dr. Emilija Stojmenova Duh, former Minister of Digital Transformation, Slovenia, shares her journey. Image: Emilija Stojmenova Duh 1. How do you use technology/policy to improve citizens’ lives? Tell us about your role or organisation. Until October, I served as the Minister of Digital Transformation of Slovenia. The Ministry for Digital Transformation oversees and analyzes the state of digital transformation and the information society at the national level. As a minister, my responsibilities encompassed various domains, including the information society, electronic communications, digital inclusion, digital competencies, data economy, the management of information and communication systems, and the provision of electronic public administration services. In October, I returned to the University of Ljubljana, where I am an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering. While my role as a minister was largely focused on policy-making, I remain actively involved in shaping policy. However, my current position allows me the valuable opportunity to engage in research and integrate these insights into policy recommendations. One of the aspects I deeply appreciate about my role at the university is working with and teaching young people who are developing the technologies of the future. It is particularly important […]

This year, data strategy has been front and centre, thanks to the explosion of AI and the growing awareness of the challenges that come with it. In a recent panel discussion, three data experts shared their insights on the trends shaping the ways businesses approach data. The two sides of AI AI has become an undeniable force in business and is now on every boardroom’s agenda. As Dane Buchanan, chief data and analytics officer at M&C Saatchi Performance, puts it: “AI is in every conversation, whether you want it to be or not, in good ways and bad ways. One of the biggest impacts AI has had over the last year is the speed at which you can test things.” The ability to test and prototype faster has unlocked exciting possibilities for many businesses. But the flip side of this rapid adoption? It has exposed long-standing issues with how companies manage their data. Adrian Kunzle, chief technology officer at Own Company, cautions that this rush to embrace AI has also “exposed the fact that, for years, many companies have not looked after their data properly”. He explains that many organisations lack a clear understanding of where their data resides, […]

Meet the Women in GovTech 2024. Mélanie Copeland, Director, Digital Transformation CIRNAC, Canada. Image: Mélanie Copeland 1. How do you use technology/policy to improve citizens’ lives? Tell us about your role or organisation. My passion for digital transformation began in 2018 with the introduction of the Government of Canada Digital Standards which serve to help public servants build user-centric services for people, businesses and communities. Most recently, I joined the Department of Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada as Director for Digital Transformation (CIRNAC). My focus here is to enhance the efficiency, accessibility, and effectiveness of our operations and services through the adoption of digital technologies and a service mindset. In the work I lead, I always look to answer two questions. One is how can we make it easier and simpler for Indigenous peoples of Canada to interact with government services, and the other is how can we support our internal staff in delivering better client experiences. To do this, I advocate for going digital and adopting modern ways of working to drive forward new capabilities and results – inviting colleagues to experiment with the technology available to them and to put themselves in the user’s shoes. 2.

Image: Julia Vieira de Andrade Dias Emendabili 1. How do you use technology/policy to improve citizens’ lives? Tell us about your role or organisation. I lead the Inter-American Development Bank ’s (IDB) Code for Development initiative, the first open-source program office at a multilateral development bank. We empower governments in Latin America and the Caribbean to adopt open-source solutions that drive innovation and improve public services. Code for Development has curated a repository of over 200 open-source tools, including 65 developed by the IDB , and built a network of over 2,000 government developers called Code4Dev. This network facilitates knowledge sharing, hosts implementation workshops, and connects governments with strategic partners. A recent example of our work is the implementation of UrbanPy in Brazil, an open-source tool developed by the IDB that we are reusing to optimize school infrastructure planning. This tool enables governments to identify the best locations for new schools and assess expansions based on data-driven metrics such as demand, travel times, and current capacities. By leveraging this solution, governments can […]

Ukraine has unveiled a groundbreaking initiative aimed at curbing corruption and facilitating progress towards NATO membership. The newly established State Logistics Operator, known locally as DOT, has shown promising results by streamlining the procurement of nonlethal military supplies. DOT’s CEO, Arsen Zhumadilov, highlighted the agency’s achievements in securing 95% of requested supplies while saving 25% in the process. This initiative is part of Ukraine’s broader efforts to reform its defense sector, plagued by corruption scandals under previous leadership. Despite facing resistance from traditional bureaucratic practices, DOT continues to prioritize transparency through its digital system, DOT-Chain. Western officials are monitoring these reforms closely, as Kyiv strives to meet NATO’s anti-corruption standards. (With inputs from agencies.)
