Solution for government

GovTech

Digital Gov

We propose an action plan and guidelines for the application of e-Governance, taking into account the following:

  • The internal operation of the Public Sector Bodies as organizations dealing with and serving citizens, businesses and other public entities
  • The role of the Public Sector Bodies which is based on the effective utilization of existing data (evidence based & data driven policy making)
  • Their political role in boosting growth and stimulating the economy at local, regional and national level.
  • The synergies and alignment with European policies
  • The existence of examples and actions of networks of citizens and communities that can participate in joint problem solving

The philosophy of our approach

The proposed approach is based on the following:

  • Internal organization of IT structures (IT organization & Governance)
  • Immediate results – Indicative short-term actions
  • Creation of conditions for the shaping of a medium and long-term planning consistent with the Strategic Framework of each Body and their particular needs. The planning can be started through an online consultation process
  • Strengthening of the involvement of citizens and collective Bodies through Crowdsourcing actions (crowdhackathons, accelerators, citylabs)
  • Infrastructures providing easy access to the Internet for everyone

Our proposal suggests indicative areas and interventions that can be implemented in the short term. Interventions can result from the collaboration of internal structures of public sector Bodies, flexible outsourcing schemes and cooperation with research and academic networks as well as communities of active citizens, and smart solutions and methodologies developed by our team (civictech, crowdsourcing).

Portals

Open APIs

Today, municipalities have the power to collect citizen-supplied feedback, public demographic and census data, and even digital system interaction data. APIs create the conditions for cooperation between local authorities  and technology providers, which results in new services used by digital customers and a transformed business model.

Municipalities, as organizations, have the potential to develop new innovative solutions on their own. However, internal innovation is a difficult issue and they usually need help from third parties. External assistance is generously offered by innovative fintech companies that are trying to develop new innovative products and solutions but do not have customers, which banks do. All this is an innovation path that the organization has to walk in order to get on the digital transformation train. Innovation competitions, hackathons, incubators, accelerators, startup as a company are words we should start getting used to…
