Digital Government Fit For A Digital Global Age

Prof. Jack Pitney, a Claremont Mckenna Professor of American Politics participates in Risk Roundup to discuss Digital Government fit for a Digital Global Age. Digital Government fit for a Digital Global Age The rapidly evolving digital technological landscape is bringing both an opportunity as well as a challenge for each and every component of a nation—and the government is no exception. Like every other component of a nation: industries, organizations, academia, and individuals, the promise and expectations of the digital global age are pushing the governments at all levels, across nations, to deliver public services, in a cost-effective, efficient and accessible manner. Building a government, governance model and integrated governance framework that is data-driven and fit for a digital global age requires each nation and its innovators to think beyond political ideology, divide, computer code, technology, or the internet. To meet the needs of the time and to keep up with the pace of change in ideas, innovation, and technology, innovators across some nations have already begun to experiment with ideas and innovation for better and effective data-centric digital governance models. However, the inter-connectedness and inter-dependencies of a digital global age require each government at every level (global /regional/ national/ local) to securely design their governance systems for interoperability at all levels within, between, and across nations boundaries in cyberspace, geospace, and space (CGS). Time is now to talk about digital government fit for a digital global age. For more please watch the Risk Roundup Webcast or hear the Risk Roundup Podcast About the Guest John J.
