OECD data, analysis and guidance to assist governments in these areas
New expectations Digital opportunities
Show capacity to tackle complex policy issues
“Smart” government, mobile government, data mining,
integrated digital policies
Join up public administration processes and interfaces
Interoperability, horizontal enablers, standards & integrated one-stop-shops, cloud computing
Tailor and align public services Open data, User engagement, social media
New expectations – new opportunities?Digital technologies as equaliser
Often diffuse competencies for• Digital service delivery• Government IT systems• Open government data• Capacities development• National information society strategy
Coordination, sometimes even integration• France in 2012 merged under the Prime Minister:
– DGME (public service innovation, digital government services)– CIO (Government IT systems)– Etalab (open government data)
• Tunisia, Egypt: missing synergies between public administration IT and wider economy IT
Institutions: competencies, responsibilities, leadership
Pertinent issue: how to attract, retain and develop IT-skilled civil servants?Context: Public sector employment reforms. Need for transparency, but also for flexibility.
Creative solutions that can start now.• Partnerships with domestic IT sector: Code for
America, …for Germany• Fast-track IT recruiting: Government Digital Services
(UK)• Apprenticeships: Australia, Austria, UK
Human resources and capacities
Digital government performance: Linking investments to returns

Integrated public service delivery: What does it take to succeed?
• Identity : e-ID & authentication• Selection of adequate solution
& mode of delivery• Alignment : interoperable processes,
functions & data• Governance : horizontal & vertical
• Context & capability assessment• Insight : user preferences & needs
One stop shop (web, phone, walk-in) The service interface is just the tip of the iceberg.
– Data collection and analysis, • e.g. digital government spending and performance
– Exchanges with peers and experts, • e.g. OECD E-Leaders meetings
– Cross-country thematic reports, • e.g. mobile government, social media
– In-depth country reviews • e.g. Spain: “paperless administration”, Poland: open government
data, Kazakhstan: e-government to spur business development
– Policy guidance• e.g. draft principles on digital government strategies
In summaryOECD work on digital governance
Questions for discussion
Do these issues echo your concerns, what do you do about them, how to do you measure impacts?• Coordination of priorities and policies across
institutions• Digital skills in the public administration• IT procurement and contracting rules• Service delivery channels, interoperability and
uptake issues
