Impact stage session | The trust dividend: Digital identity and the future of public and private sector services
With digital interactions now routine across the public and private sectors, trust is a more valuable commodity than ever. To deliver innovative services that transform user experiences and business processes, organizations in the public and private sector alike need to be able to trust the individuals and businesses they are interacting with, especially in an increasingly complex landscape of privacy concerns, user scepticism, and the risk of fraud.
