“Service providers are helping them plan and execute initiatives to reach their goals.”
The 2022 ISG Provider Lens™ Future of Work — Services and Solutions report for the U.S. public sector finds the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated ongoing changes in workplaces and work modes, forcing governments, agencies, schools and non-governmental organizations to recognize the importance of workplace resilience and become more open to outsourcing what they had perceived as core functions.
“Many public sector organizations in the U.S. are realizing that workplace transformation has become essential,” said Nathan Frey, partner, ISG Public Sector. “Service providers are helping them plan and execute initiatives to reach their goals.”
The sudden need to enable remote work during the pandemic, which has led to widespread demands for hybrid work options, is only the latest workplace challenge facing U.S. public sector organizations, the report says. Many agencies and institutions are struggling to serve constituents better through a growing number of channels while their budgets shrink. They also face rising cybersecurity concerns, new customer experience demands and a wave of staff retirements.
Providers are helping public sector clients address these needs through workplace transformations that enable safe work from anywhere, employee training in digital skills and fast, proactive support, ISG says. They are also helping clients understand how and when to use new technologies, including AI and IoT, to overcome acute skills shortages.

“Most governments and agencies are saddled with legacy technologies and practices that were not designed for the new pace of change,” said Jan Erik Aase, partner and global leader, ISG Provider Lens Research. “They are turning to providers for roadmaps to serve them through current and future scenarios.”
Data is playing a powerful role in these public sector workplace modernizations, the report says. Monitoring technologies identify waste, security breaches, productivity bottlenecks and other problems, while AI-based analytics turns those findings into insights that inform changes to the workplace.
The report also explores several other workplace trends in the U.S. public sector, including the rise of automation, an increasing focus on employee experience and well-being and growing efforts to make physical workspaces better for workers through new technology.
