Let's Think Digital

Let’s Think Digital is a podcast about what it takes to use digital technologies to transform our world to improve peoples’ lives. Hosted by Ryan Androsoff, Founder of Think Digital, alongside an incredible community of digital innovators from all walks of life, in this podcast we go beyond the traditional tech hype of founder culture, user counts, funding rounds and quarterly profits. Instead we talk about why systems resist change, and how transformation is just as much about people and culture as it is about tech stacks. We’re eager to talk about the political and philosophical ramifications of technology and what it means for the future of government. Our goal is to help you to learn about how digital is impacting our world, to ask better questions, and to be able to call bullshit when you need to!

  Back to the Start with the Functional Government Podcast

  Dec 1, 202547 minS3

  <p>We're back...sorta! A few months ago we officially brought the Let's Think Digital podcast to a close. I feel very fortunate to have been able to host three seasons of Let’s Think Digital where we covered a wide range of topics related to how governments here in Canada and around the world are adapting and evolving to the digital world, with varying degrees of success.</p><p>As I was moving on to new professional challenges, it also seemed like the right time to bring the podcast to a close. However I also mentioned that while it wa...

  Let's Keep Thinking Digital

  Mar 3, 202525 minS3

  <p>This is the final episode of the Let's Think Digital podcast in its current form. </p><p>I've been thinking a lot about transitions recently. Last month, I had the honour of being asked to serve as Vice President of Learning and Leadership at the Institute of Governance. The IOG is a not-for-profit, non-partisan organization that I’ve worked with for a number of years that does important work to advance good public governance. Its mission is needed now more than ever as governments are under increased expectations to modernize and evolve to meet the moment. I'm excited to ta...

  Just Evil Enough (with Alistair Croll)

  Feb 17, 202540 minS3

  <p>To change systems, sometimes you need to bend the rules, or even rewrite them. That's the argument that Alistair Croll and Emily Ross make in their new book, Just Evil Enough: The Subversive Marketing Handbook. In this episode we speak to Alistair about his new book, which offers numerous case studies and frameworks on how to drive change with subversive tactics while keeping in mind how far is too far. Indeed, one chapter in the book is titled: "Don't Actually be Evil"!</p><p>This is particularly relevant in this year of transition and change. Whether it is elections...

  Data, Data Everywhere, And Not a Drop to Drink (with Maddy Dwyer, Anna Wong, Trevor Banks...and ChatGPT)

  Feb 3, 20251h 3mS3

  <p>Data is the lifeblood of any organization, including government. And in today’s digital age, there are very real questions about whether governments are capable of managing the enormous amount of data that is now collected. We’re no longer in an era where data was created at human scale with pen and paper on a government form. Instead, governments are increasingly being flooded with an avalanche of digital data from a huge number of sources. And there are high expectations that governments are able to use these data points to make better decisions, that data is managed responsibility, and...

  Transforming International Aid (with Brandon Lee and Dorothy Eng)

  Jan 20, 202534 minS3

  <p>International assistance and aid can help bring people out of poverty, build peace and security, and drive economic prosperity. For Canada, it's also a major source of its soft power globally. In fact, Global Affairs Canada delivers around $15 billion dollars a year in international assistance, of which approximately $6 billion is delivered through what is known in the federal government as “Grants and Contributions” to non-governmental agencies, charities, and other partners around the world. And while the amount and form of international aid given by Canada can sometimes be a divisive political topic and a difficult policy challenge, it’s fair t...
