INTERNATIONAL STUDY
DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR
Study about the current state of digitalisation in the public sector
Digital
transformation has become a major force of change, reshaping the way we
live, work and communicate year after year. It also challenges the status
quo in public administrations in many ways − from the COVID-19 vaccine to
taxation. So, how can we enhance its chances of success and ensure a good
outcome of the ongoing digital progress? This
study aims to survey the current state of digital transformation in the public
sector from a multinational and comparative perspective. Focus countries are Central
and Northern Europe.
Actionable insights
This study aims to capture these topics from a more actionable perspective, combining an academically sound approach with insights from extensive consulting practice. As a result, we hope to inform the public dialogue with actionable insights. Thereby we provide valuable decision support to legislators, decision-makers (political and administrative executives), and influencers in the public sector.
Take part in an international survey
With this survey, we want to learn more about why and how digital transformation actually works in the public sector.
The survey is closed. The study, incl. results, is expected to be published at the end of February 2023.
