ICT observatories for better governance

Challenges for (regional) development

• Economic threats & crisis (Global Financial Crisis 2008+)– Cost-effectiveness, ROI, public values, sustainable development

• Societal challenges and global trends– Crisis of traditional ways of governance & need of new ways and models of

governance– Involvement of citizens into the decision-making, eParticipation– Social connectivity (Ability to find, create, share, provide, get feedback)– Demand for openness and transparency (Open Data, Open Government

Partnership)– Social connectivity (Ability to find, create, share, provide, get feedback)– Negative demographic trends (Europe)– Migration trends + local wars

• Technology shorter cycles & ICT progress (infrastructures and tools)• Datafication of the world (incl. Big Data). „Data is NEW OIL“…

7 Digital trends of near future

Gerd Leonhard


Opportunities of Data Call• Data-driven economy and ICT-based services - the major opportunities

for Europe. • A wide range of data and ICT-driven development indicators are

produced and available across EU, creating substantial knowledge bases – New engines to boost growth and jobs are addressed by seven flagship

initiatives with Digital Agenda Europe being one of them. Delivery of the actions listed in the Digital Agenda policy programme is assessed on a regular basis and reflected in the Digital Agenda Scoreboard available on-line.

• The data economy calls for new thinking on governance! How to turn data into value?

• Facing economic turbulent developments in Europe, regions must re-estimate their own capacity to plan, assess and manage investments in all fields, especially in the field of ICT.

2014-2020 Cohesion Policy objective: new role for innovation and ICT

ONE project approach

• the overwhelming amounts of data are not used properly, especially at the regional level, because of the lack of details, differences in methodologies for measurement and varieties in local contents.

Use of DATA

• at regional level, different stakeholders, such as managing authorities, research centers and ICT implementing bodies, are mostly dealing with innovation policy in an isolated way.

Complex Approach

• innovation and ICT policies are not always managed by appropriate governance mechanism, which is slow and bureaucratic.

Governance

• The assessment of innovation strategies or policies targeting specific territorial problems is present, but knowledge resulting from these assessments is not properly transferred to policy making and to implementation.

Knowledge transfer

ICT observatory as ONE of the solutionsI.Zalisova, Ghent, DataDays 2014

Policymakers face a number of obstacles, falling to predict future development and adequately respond to economic and societal challenges. What is wrong?

ICT observatory for better Digital Governance: Openess, Innovation and Networking

Evidence based management of information society;

Improvement of public spending effectiveness;

Cost reduction and a better knowledge exploitation;

Assessment of (regional) policies’ impact;

Ensuring Structural funds absorption.



Model of the ICT Observatory

• ICT, Data Management, Apps, analysis, predictions

• Publication of results, promotion, communication

• Monitoring of social and economic trends, data gathering

• Support to elaboration of visions, policies and strategies

… experiences• 2001 - new Czech region (de jure) after PA reform• Hills and fields – agrarian area, 704 small municipalities, no industry,

no high schools, no ICT infrastructure… • Creating regional ICT and ICT strategy at the Greenfield


Creating regional ICT at the Greenfield

• In 10 years from „0“ to number 1 in the Czech Republic

• ROWANET broadband – last generation optical cable network, all bigger cities

• Technological Center, Data storehouse, IMS• eGovernment, eHealth, GIS• Building the new data analytical department for

regional needs, comparing to ICT observatory principles with EPMA
