Flexible tech strategies are essential for organizations navigating uncertainty, enabling agility, resilience, and faster response to changing market conditions.

State and local government leaders face an extraordinary set of challenges: tighter budgets, increasing compliance requirements, and rising expectations for efficiency and service. But today’s high-tech, purpose-built solutions offer an opportunity to make gains while easing burdens.

In this special webinar, Josh Whitworth brings a unique, firsthand perspective shaped by years in the Idaho State Controller’s Office and now as a private-sector leader helping governments across the country modernize their digital operations and business processes. Joined by Cathilea Robinett, CEO of e.Republic, the conversation will move beyond theory into a live Q&A tackling the most pressing challenges facing public sector leaders today, including:

  • How the evolving fiscal environment and changing federal legislative requirements will impact state and local budget and policy decisions
  • Building future-proof strategies that adapt to new requirements
  • Deploying ethical AI practices to boost efficiency and performance
  • What’s next for public service in an era of disruption and rapid change
  • These flexible tech strategies demonstrate how businesses can stay resilient, adapt quickly, and maintain growth despite uncertain and rapidly changing environments.
  • Businesses must adopt agile frameworks and flexible systems to respond to rapid market shifts
  • Flexibility helps balance cost, scalability, and risk in uncertain conditions

This is not your typical tech webinar. This executive-level conversation will give you fresh insights into the shifting landscape and provide actionable advice for making the most of your technology investments. Sign up now to join the conversation!

Josh Whitworth
VP & General Manager, Public Sector, Infor

Joshua Whitworth leads Infor’s Public Sector, driving cloud modernization and digital transformation for governments across local, state, and federal markets. Before joining the private sector, Joshua spent over a decade in state government, most notably as Chief Deputy in the State Controller’s Office of Idaho, where he championed the nation’s first end-to-end statewide cloud modernization, replacing legacy systems across 85 agencies. He also helped create Transparent.Idaho.gov and the state’s pandemic funding distribution portals, initiatives born from a belief that government technology should empower citizens, not just serve bureaucracy. He most recently served as Executive Director of the Idaho State Board of Education and currently serves as a Trustee for the Public Employee Retirement System of Idaho.Joshua pairs that deep public service commitment with a genuine entrepreneurial drive. He co-founded an agricultural technology startup and owns a working cattle ranch in Idaho; experiences that shaped how he approaches government modernization today: identify the real problem, move with urgency, build something that lasts, and never lose sight of the people it serves.At Infor, he channels that mindset into helping government leaders cut through complexity and adopt purpose-built cloud solutions so they can focus on what matters most; helping their communities thrive.
