Building Better Municipalities Webinars: Strategic Decisions That Change Technology Outcomes
This June, we're running a webinar series for municipal leaders facing technology decisions that shape how you deliver services, manage risk, and operate efficiently. Web services strategy, business continuity planning, and AI adoption.
You don't need to attend every session. Come to the ones that speak to your immediate priorities. But based on what we're seeing across Canadian municipalities, these are the areas where strategic thinking creates the strongest outcomes. Even if you can’t attend live, register so you can get the replay and supporting materials.
Spring Webinar Series
Web Services Strategy - June 4th @ 3PM EDT
Most municipalities are evaluating website platforms. Before you invest in new software, understand what makes websites actually work operationally. We'll show you what separates high-performing websites from struggling ones, and what to evaluate before you move forward with a new platform.
Business Continuity Planning - June 18 @ 3PM EDT
You have a BCP. The opportunity is turning it into something your organization lives by through regular testing, real-time updates, and integration into daily operations. This webinar covers what continuity readiness actually looks like and how to build it in municipal environments where resources and complexity are always factors.
AI Adoption - June 25 @ 3PM EDT
Municipalities understand AI is changing how organizations work. The opportunity is moving from curiosity to confidence through structured learning, clear understanding of where AI creates value for your context, and practical first steps that align with your capacity and constraints.
Who should Attend?
CAOs, IT directors, and service leads making these decisions. Each webinar is led by Perry Group consultants with direct municipal government experience. Practical thinking grounded in what works in real municipal environments.
Why Attend?
Strategic thinking upfront creates better outcomes. Municipalities that invest in readiness and clarity before they implement are the ones who see real results. These decisions are happening. What matters is approaching them with the right framework.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is municipal technology readiness?
Technology readiness is the operational and strategic foundation that needs to be in place before implementing any major system or platform. For municipalities, this includes governance clarity, stakeholder alignment, realistic timelines and budgets, and a clear understanding of what the technology can and cannot solve for your organization.
Why do municipalities struggle with website platform changes?
Most website problems aren't caused by the CMS or platform itself. They come from unclear governance around who maintains the site, how content gets updated, who approves changes, and how the website fits into broader digital strategy. Replacing the platform without addressing these operational issues usually results in the same problems on new software.
How should municipalities approach business continuity planning?
Effective business continuity requires more than an annual planning exercise. It needs to be embedded into daily operations through regular testing, real-time updates as systems change, clear ownership and accountability, and integration with IT and cybersecurity strategy. Perry Group helps municipalities move from static plans to living continuity programs.
When should a municipality start AI adoption?
Now. The cost of entry is currently lowest in terms of required investment and learning curve. Municipalities that begin experimenting with AI today will build organizational capability and confidence that positions them ahead of peers who wait. Starting early also allows you to learn at your own pace and understand where AI creates value in your specific context.
What are the first steps for municipal AI adoption?
Start with structured learning for leadership and staff. Identify use cases where AI can improve efficiency or service delivery in your municipality. Run small pilots before larger investments. Build internal confidence through hands-on experience. Focus on practical applications rather than complex or speculative use cases.
Who should attend the webinar series?
CAOs, IT directors, IT managers, and service leads responsible for technology strategy and implementation. These webinars are designed for decision-makers and leaders guiding municipal technology investments, not technical implementers.
Are these webinars focused on selling software?
No. This webinar series is designed to help municipal leaders think strategically about critical decisions. It's led by consultants with municipal government experience who focus on practical approaches and operational reality, not vendor solutions.
Can I attend select webinars or do I need to attend all sessions?
Attend whichever webinars address your current priorities. There's no requirement to attend every session. Each webinar stands independently and covers a complete topic.
