Innovation@work within e-Government
This lecture will cover how ICT does contribute to the innovation agenda of the government. Innovation can be “out of the box” thinking, “doing more with less”, and “doing better with the same”. There is a top town governmental agenda to offer better services to citizens, and reduce cost. There is also a bottom up operations agenda, where efficiency, and reduction of complexity play. Cloud computing, open government data, and mobility are some key enablers. HP has several key references which will be shared, to underpin this innovation@work within governments.
