  10. The Changing World… Institutional Reconfiguration « Dynamic Tension » Globalisation Multi Level Multi Actor/Sector Public Sector Supranational Private Sector Civil Society State Transformation National Regional/Local Economic Pressure Organisational Change ICTs Multidimensional Impact

  11. ..the role of “e”… State Transformation Institutional Reconfiguration Supranational level Policy Making National level Multifunction of the State Regulation Public Sector Regional/Local level Service Delivery Private Sector Civil Society ICTs as a Factor of Transformation the “e” Organisational Transformation ICTs as a collective Problem Solving

  12. The e… perspective State Transformation ICTs are in continuous « Dynamic Tension » where the «key» is often considered JUST how the User/Customer is served and how ICTs can contribute to increase their satisfaction it is NOT enough.. Network Industries • Law & Order • Energy • Water • Health • Environment • Transportation • Post • TLCs & Media • e-Government

  13. Defining e-Government • Better and more efficient administration; • More effective inter-administration and government-business relations; • User-empowering servicing and more transparent access of citizens to policy-making decisions. New e-Challenges.. Policy Making Multifunction of the State Regulation e-Government Service Delivery Risk of «mirroring» & low cost-benefit impact Often a fashionable political solution to the Internet bubble!!!

  14. e-Government «maturity»?!? Will the messianic auspices be achieved in 2020?

  15. Open questions… • How ICTs will (or will not) contribute to redefining the practice of governance in the future? • How the emerging e-Gov benchmarking and measurement models will allow to ascertain the reality behind the figures (see e-Readiness, sophistication, contribution to GDP, etc)? • Why and how separate the ICTs4D or eG4D impacts from the numerous other developments and processes taking places at the same time in a specific targeted territorial area? • Or in other words: are we talking about the impact of ICTs on the economy and society at large or about different and overlapping Information Society phenomena?

  16. e-Governance as a «transactional space» ICTs and other Forces of Change State Transformation Institutional Reconfiguration Multiple Levels Multiple Actors/Sectors Private Sector Public Sector Governance Civil Society Organisational Boundary Blurring Organisational Transformation ICTs and other Forces of Change
