Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2022 edition of the State-of-Play report on Digital Public Administration and Interoperability provides the reader with a run-through of the latest digital initiatives put in place between 2020 and 2022 in 35 European countries , as well as undertaken at European and global level, with the goal to further digitalise public administrations and services and ensure their interoperability. In addition, an overview of the current state-of-play of interoperability across Europe is provided by the reader, based on an overview of the level of implementation of the European Interoperability Framework (EIF) in 36 European countries in 2021. This dedicated chapter on interoperability will also provide the readers with comparisons between the countries' performances in 2020 and 2021, so as to find correlations and commonalities but also potential areas of improvement to help European countries in further implementing the EIF. The report demonstrates that European countries continue their path towards an increasingly digitalised public administration, a trend already perceived in the last few years and further accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, a clear shift of mindset is observed regarding the use of digital tools by public administrations and the conception of digital public services, where user-centricity, usability and interoperability have emerged as key priorities when (re-)designing new or existing services. In this context, the European Commission has demonstrated a strong dedication to promote the uptake of digital solutions by its Member States, supporting the development of cross-border digital services in the EU and acting as an innovative driving force for digital transformation. To illustrate it, the report provides an overview of the state-ofplay of the main initiatives around digital public administration and interoperability at the EU level, including EU funding programmes and digital-related political and legislative initiatives put forward by the European Commission in the period 2020-2022 to fuel the digital transformation of the public sector across Europe. Lastly, this year's edition of the report provides insights on the most recent global initiatives developed since 2020 by various international organisations, such as the United Nations and the World Bank, to support public administrations around the globe on their path towards interoperability and digitalisation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The state-of-play report on digital public administration and interoperability will provide the readers with an overview of the main developments and initiatives put forward by the European countries to digitalise and make their public administrations more interoperable, from 2020 through 2021. Indeed, the report sheds light on the national initiatives, both binding and non-binding, that have been put in place, or modified, by the 35 European countries under the scope of this study. The readers will also be provided with an overview of the current state-of-play of interoperability across Europe thanks to a high-level overview of the level of implementation of the European Interoperability Framework (EIF) in the same 35 European countries in 2020. The dedicated chapter will also provide comparisons with the countries' performance in 2019, so as to find correlations and commonalities but also potential areas of improvements to help the European countries in better and further implementing the EIF. The report demonstrates that while most European countries had already started to digitalise their public sectors, the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has only accelerated the pace of this digital transformation, rendering digital technologies and digital services an imperative for all. In this context, the European Commission has demonstrated a strong commitment in fostering the uptake by its Member States of digital solutions and on how to render them sustainable in the long term. Hence, the report aims at providing an overview of the state-of-play of digital public administration and interoperability in the EU by examining the vast array of political and legislative initiatives put forward by the European Commission in this field in the period 2021-2021 but also by giving an account of the many EU funding programmes aimed at fuelling the digital transformation of the public sector across Europe. Lastly, this year's edition of the report also aims at providing readers with insights on the most recent global initiatives developed since 2019 by various international organisations to support governments and public administrations around the globe on their road towards digital transformation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report on the state-of-play of digital public administration and interoperability across Europe aims at providing an overview of the main developments and achievements of European countries with regards to the digitalisation of the public sector in the period 2017-2020 and the measures implemented by the European Commission to enable these countries to achieve their goals. Additionally, the results of the EIF implementation by the 36 European countries included in the sample of the study are presented in the report and then further analysed so as to provide an overview of the current state-of-play of interoperability across Europe. A proposal for future progression in this policy domain is also put forward. The results of the EIF implementation highlight that the digitalisation of public administrations strongly depends on Member States' capacity to tackle interoperability challenges. This report sheds light on the various national initiatives that have been put in place by the 36 European countries analysed and by the European Commission to foster digital public administration and interoperability in the last three years. For many years, the European Commission has encouraged progression in this policy domain through various non-binding digital strategies and action plans as well as legislative frameworks, among others. In addition, funding programmes have been made available to European public administrations in order to boost their implementation of digital public administration and interoperability, such as the Connecting Europe Facility and the upcoming Digital Europe Programme1. Furthermore, the ISA2 Programme2 is entirely focussed on the funding of interoperability projects and thus aims at bettering the life of European citizens and businesses through the provision of interoperable solutions. The need for better and faster delivery of digital public services will take on greater urgency in the post COVID-19 era. Indeed, on 21 July 2020, EU leaders agreed on a comprehensive package of €1,824.3 billion which combines the multiannual financial framework (MFF) and an extraordinary recovery effort, Next Generation EU (NGEU). The package will help the EU to rebuild after the COVID-19 pandemic and will support investment in the green and digital transitions. In addition, the upcoming Digital Europe Programme under the 2021-2027 Multiannual Financial Framework is committed to reinforcing Europe's digital capacities in various cutting-edge domains such as high-performance computing, artificial intelligence, interoperability, cybersecurity and digital skills. One of the key actions of the Digital Europe Programme is the Shaping Europe's Digital Future strategy3, which will continue to guide the transformation of the European Union and ensure the effective implementation of digital and interoperable public services among the Member States.

Download or read book Exploring Digital Government Transformation in the EU written by Gianluca Misuraca and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents the findings of the analysis of the state of the art conducted as part of the JRC research on "Exploring Digital Government Transformation in the EU: understanding public sector innovation in a data- driven society" (DIGIGOV), within the framework of the "European Location Interoperability Solutions for eGovernment (ELISE)" Action of the ISA 2 Programme on Interoperability solutions for public administrations, businesses and citizens, coordinated by DIGIT. The results of the review of literature, based on almost 500 academic and grey literature sources, as well as the analysis of digital government policies in the EU Member States provide a synthetic overview of the main themes and topics of the digital government discourse. The report depicts the variety of existing conceptualisations and definitions of the digital government phenomenon, measured and expected effects of the application of more disruptive innovations and emerging technologies in government, as well as key drivers and barriers for transforming the public sector. Overall, the literature review shows that many sources appear overly optimistic with regard to the impact of digital government transformation, although the majority of them are based on normative views or expectations, rather than empirically tested insights. The authors therefore caution that digital government transformation should be researched empirically and with a due differentiation between evidence and hope. In this respect, the report paves the way to in-depth analysis of the effects that can be generated by digital innovation in public sector organisations. A digital transformation that implies the redesign of the tools and methods used in the machinery of government will require in fact a significant change in the institutional frameworks that regulate and help coordinate the governance systems in which such changing processes are implemented.

Download or read book Public Administrations Digital Response to COVID 19 in the EU written by and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report on Public Administrations' Digital Response to COVID-19 in the EU assesses the impact of the first wave of the COVID-19 crisis on EU public administrations. Indeed, it aims at showcasing EU Member States' good practices with regard to the development and/or implementation of digital solutions to avoid the disruption of public services during the first wave of the COVID-19 crisis, from March to June 2020. Additionally, it highlights the internal factors that enabled public administrations to adapt and ensure business continuity. When most of the EU Member States implemented lockdowns or stay-at-home orders, countries with highly digitalised public administrations showed more resilience to ensure the continuous delivery of public services. This report sheds light on the digital solutions put forward by EU Member States to guarantee access to public services, ensure the continuity of education and support businesses facing dire economic circumstances. Such digital solutions encompass, among others, mobile applications, online portals, online platforms, informative chatbots and repositories. Met with great user demand, the implementation and maintenance of these digital solutions highlighted the crucial role of agile and secure IT infrastructures. Furthermore, it emphasised the need for interoperability among systems and administrations. While the better and faster delivery of digital public services has proven necessary in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, many EU public administrations have demonstrated their resilience and ability to adapt in times of crisis. Supported by political and hierarchical leadership, the public sector leveraged in-house digital and coding skills, crossadministration collaboration, as well as partnerships with the private sector to implement digital solutions in short timespans. This report calls for the further sharing and reuse of solutions between public administrations, as already initiated by the European Commission through the Digital Response to COVID-19 collection. Indeed, the European Commission's Recovery Plan for Europe, presented on 27 May 2020, recognised the importance of the digital transformation of the public sector for job creation and economic growth of the European Union. This is reflected in the upcoming Digital Europe Programme, which acknowledges the importance of the further development of eSkills within public administrations, as well as of interoperable digital public services across the EU.

Download or read book Digital Transformation and Public Services Open Access written by Anthony Larsson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-10-08 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through a series of studies, the overarching aim of this book is to investigate if and how the digitalization/digital transformation process affects various welfare services provided by the public sector, and the ensuing implications thereof. Ultimately, this book seeks to understand if it is conceivable for digital advancement to result in the creation of private/non-governmental alternatives to welfare services, possibly in a manner that transcends national boundaries. This study also investigates the possible ramifications of technological development for the public sector and the Western welfare society at large. This book takes its point of departure from the 2016 Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) report that targets specific public service areas in which government needs to adopt new strategies not to fall behind. Specifically, this report emphasizes the focus on digitalization of health care/social care, education, and protection services, including the use of assistive technologies referred to as "digital welfare." Hence, this book explores the factors potentially leading to whether state actors could be overrun by other non-governmental actors, disrupting the current status quo of welfare services. The book seeks to provide an innovative, enriching, and controversial take on society at large and how various aspects of the public sector can be, and are, affected by the ongoing digitalization process in a way that is not covered by extant literature on the market. This book takes its point of departure in Sweden given the fact that Sweden is one of the most digitalized countries in Europe, according to the Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI), making it a pertinent research case. However, as digitalization transcends national borders, large parts of the subject matter take on an international angle. This includes cases from several other countries around Europe as well as the United States.

Download or read book Digital Governance written by Michael E. Milakovich and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-27 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The application of digital information and communication technologies (ICTs) to reform governmental structures and public service is widely and perhaps naively viewed as the 21st century "savior", the enlightened way to reinvigorate democracy, reduce costs, and improve the quality of public services. This book examines the transition from e-government to digital governance in light of the financial exigencies and political controversies facing many governments. The chapters concentrate on strategies for public sector organizational transformation and policies for improved and measurable government performance in the current contentious political environment. This fully updated second edition of Digital Governance provides strategies for public officials to apply advanced technologies, manage remote workforces, measure performance, and improve service delivery in current crisis-driven administrative and political environments. The full implementation of advanced digital governance requires fundamental changes in the relationship between citizens and their governments, using ICTs as catalysts for political as well as administrative communication. This entails attitudinal and behavioral changes, secure networks, and less dependence on formal bureaucratic structures (covered in Part I of this book); transformation of administrative, educational, and security systems to manage public services in a more citizen-centric way (covered in Part II); the integration of advanced digital technologies with remote broadband wireless internet services (Part III); and the creation of new forms of global interactive citizenship and self-governance (covered in Part IV). Author Michael E. Milakovich offers recommendations for further improvement and civic actions to stimulate important instruments of governance and public administration. This book is required reading for political science, public administration, and public policy courses, as well as federal, state, and local government officials.
