About this session

What you'll take away.

Most digital-PFM conversations conflate four very different questions: are we ready, what should we digitise, how mature do we want to be, and what reform precedes which tooling? Doug introduces the FreeBalance Digital Public Finance Framework as a structured way to answer each separately. The framework has been validated across 14 ministries and four assessment cycles; the session walks through the template, then puts delegates in pairs to self-score their own country against it.

What you'll leave with
  • A four-axis structured scoring of your country's digital-PFM posture
  • The distinction between readiness, scope, maturity, reform and core — and why conflating them blocks progress
  • Validated patterns from 14 ministry deployments
  • A self-score worksheet to bring back to the budget directorate
