Brief Notes on Public Administration & e-Government - government accountability
Dr. S. Koner,
MBA Professor
Investment e-Govërnment decisions in the public sector, whether they involve IT or not, necessarily take place in a context of political and policy influences. No matter how solid or technically sophisticated an ROI analysis may be, it will not likely be the sole determinant of an investment decision. When deciding how to prepare and present an ROI analysis, therefore, it is best to take into account all the potential risks that influence the decision process.
Online service delivery provides enormous opportunities to Government, individuals and business. For Government, online service delivery presents ways for more efficiently and effectively delivering services to citizens, while at the same time providing savings.
e-Government, and many others, show how IT is changing the way we share information, transact business, and make decisions. Lawyers are among the many professionals impacted by these changes.
A strong, efficient e-Government process is practically the definition of resourcefulness. Put these governance practices to work to maximize the value of your projects and processes.
Getting the data infrastructure right is important and having access to citizen information is half the battle in providing excellent e-Government support. How this is presented at the front-end, however, is just as important in ensuring the organisational issues are resolved.
As a CIO in charge of an e-Government project, the first step is to define the accessibility of the enterprises and citizens to the e-Government services and informations.
Where then have e-Government benefits already been felt by the public? The sharing of information between services, and making it available to front-line staff in call centres and one stop shops makes one think that, to date, the main benefits felt by the public have been indirect, rather than direct.
e-Government is going to be a prime enabler for transformation of the way that central and local Government interact and communicate with Citizens.
Government agencies describe online and offline information and services using a consistent classification system [a metadata]. The result is an integrated catalogue of information that you can search via the Internet.
We’re finding a healthy appetite among the world’s Government leaders who are eager to embrace e-Government, because they see its enormous potential to help them improve the way they deliver federal services to businesses and people.
E-Government is about improving the work of all branches of Government, not just public administration in the narrow sense.
Viewing e-Government projects as mainly an investment in public infrastructure is too restricted, since the investment is also aimed at reducing the size and costs of Government while accelerating the growth of the e-Government market, helping to create new businesses and jobs in the private sector.
Federal and state agencies, as well as many local and county governments, have realized the Internet - through the e-Government - can help them communicate with the public, with businesses, and with one another. The anytime, anywhere character of the Web allows Government information and services to be more available to more people at greater convenience, and hopefully with increased satisfaction.
Quality rather than quantity should be the watchword for your e-Government work. The percentage of people using services online rather than the percentage of services available should be the measure by which the success of the e-Government programme is judged. Therefore, greater attention should be paid to delivering services, which are not only attractive, but also deliver the greatest benefits to citizens.
e-Government impacts the way we interact with Government agencies at all levels, whether that interaction takes place through telephone, fax, e-mail, a Web site, or directly into a data base.
