Mark is Head of Public Sector at ABP and has been involved in technology centred transformation initiatives across his career. · To start, could you give us short sketch of your career to date. · Can you tell us about ABP’s mission? · Where does process automation fit within the technology consulting ecosystem? · What values and mindset do you rely on in your role as a consultant? · Things to keep in mind when working with clients? · The impact of automation is often cast as a negative, jobs lost, that kind of thing, how valid are the fears and criticisms, how do you deal with it as a service provider? · Talk about the differences and challenges that public sector brings vs private sector. · <extra questions from class> Well, we’ll wrap up there. Thank you for sharing your ideas with us today.
