Government Transformed 2.0 Episode Three: Truly embracing technology in government
Government TransformedShow Notes
In the third episode of this podcast series, Richard Johnstone, Nicholas Gruen, and Dan Corry discuss the evolution of government's role in technology regulation – and what it mean to truly embrace technology for digital engagement, collaboration, and transparency.
In this conversation, they discuss the potential identified in the 2009 Government 2.0 report on the potential for digital engagement, collaboration, and transparency in government – and whether governments have been able to realise this potential.
In this conversation, Gruen discusses the reasons behind slow progress, which include risk aversion in public service, and a lack of leadership.
Listen to this conversation to hear:
The importance – and challenges – of data linkages in government to improve services. The benefits of transparency in policy making – and how it can help. The need for transparency as AI is used more in government service delivery – and how to implement it.
