issues can be mitigated by using digital innovations. 
The CIO is very interested to understand the current development in the industry in terms of 
digital innovations and how these innovations would influence strategic planning processes in 
the organization. Your task is to provide a comprehensive discussion as to how these

1. Brief background of the selected government organisation 
2. Synthesis of the issues and problems of digital innovation for the selected
