Digital Strategy Roadmap 2022–2026 transcript
We’re creating a great digital future for every Queenslander! 
Aligning with the departments mission, we are investing in our people by building digital capabilities and platforms that support every Queenslander to thrive, now and in the future.
Our Digital Strategy will drive investment and development over the next 5 years, aligning to the departments vision and benefit Queensland children, students, school communities and our workforce. 
So what's the strategy? 
The Digital Strategy is best represented and explained through the meaningful artwork, called Near and Far, created by Aboriginal and South Sea Islander artist Matrisse Watego.
It shows our landscape’s rich colour and diversity. With growth and connected learning represented through the green trees and black roots, expressing our networks of knowledge, and evoking the idea that technology is a vital conduit for learning and collaboration. 
The artwork is layered with textured symbols that signify movements and changes in the landscape and sea to represent the diversity of environments our students and Education Queensland staff engage with.  
An illustration of the 3 pillars that underpin our digital strategy is also interwoven. 
The first is our Core Foundations pillar, represented by trees, sand dunes, mountains and deserts. 
In the digital strategy, this represents many of our ‘business as usual’ initiatives such as bandwidth and internet services, security and privacy –these bodies of work are the foundations that keep our systems running effectively every day and their success depends on the hardworking teams behind them.
The next pillar, to the left of our artwork, is modern learning. It is represented by the flow of people at the core of this strategy. 
Our plan for modern learning is to invest in, our educational services and digital learning capability. Like our QSuite initiatives including QLearn, QTeachers and QParents, as well as the OneSchool program and Digital Futures Hub. 
The final pillar, to the right of the artwork, represents business modernisation. Once again, our people are visually and strategically at its heart. 
Through providing organisational efficiencies we are enabling new ways of teaching, learning and working, as we meet the changing needs of our people with improvements to School Data Platform Reporting, Communication Enhancement Project, Purchase IT Upgrade and other online solutions. 
Connecting all three pillars in the artwork, we see the representation of our Queensland teacher, with arm outspread to signify how they are supporting our students to embrace learning, and technology’s role in knowledge sharing and collaboration. 
Each strategy element is integral to ensuring a great digital future. 
As our artwork Near and Far illustrates, we’re developing great digital capabilities for every Queenslander, now and in the future.
