  • To help shape digital transformation in the social service sector, NCSS hosted a series of events and initiatives to support SSAs in adopting the Social Services Digitalisation Playbook. 💻 We hosted two transformative digital strategy workshops to help SSAs prioritise digital initiatives and design actionable roadmaps for the future.  📊 In collaboration with SUSS, we explored service user blueprints, empowering SSAs to identify gaps and enhance the service user experience.  🤝 We proudly introduced SWITCh – a collaborative community connecting social work and technology, brought to life with MSF, NCSS, NUS, OGP, and sector representatives.  🤖 Our NAISE community (Networking for AI Starters and Enthusiasts) also kicked off, bringing SSAs together to share innovative AI projects and ideas. These events mark an exciting step forward as we drive innovation and collaboration across the sector! Find out more about the Social Services Digitalisation Playbook at: https://lnkd.in/geGXBxWZ     #NCSS #SocialServiceSG #DigitalTransformation #Innovation #Collaboration

    Grateful for Art, Generosity and Charity I am deeply touched by the stunning Sharity painted by Simone Legno, globally renown Italian artist best known for the creation of the Tokidoki brand. His true masterpiece of generosity and creativity will leave a lasting impact on Art for Good. A heartfelt thanks to Ng Teck Wee, President of Alumni International Singapore (AIS) for giving us the opportunity to use the AIS Gala Dinner as a platform to raise funds for charity through ComChest. A special thanks to Mr Yeo Guat Kwang for his generous donation. Together, we’ve demonstrated how art and community can unite to make a difference.
