“One of the big debates in the leadership of digital transformation is the merits of a ‘big bang’ strategic program versus a more tactical, incremental approach,” says the Victorian Department of Health and Human Services’ (DHHS) Chief Information Officer and IPAA Victoria Fellow, Dr Steve Hodgkinson.
