Ireland is leaving €8 billion on the table — and this is why

In Part 2 of this Transform Gov conversation, Marie Wallace (Accenture) moves beyond the concept of digital identity — and explains what it actually means in practice for service delivery, cost, and efficiency.

• removing manual verification from services
• eliminating repeated onboarding across organisations
• reducing friction across life events
• and integrating identity directly into business processes

From passports to healthcare to supply chains, this is a look at how identity sits at the centre of service transformation.

And why fixing it could change everything.
