Global report: senior officials lack understanding of #digitalgovernments

New research from Global Government Forum has revealed different barriers to digital transformation shared across governments.

According to the interviews done for the research, most senior public officials do not “fit the bill” of a #digital champion.

Moreover, civil service recruitment and performance management weed out people who could bring these projects to fruition.

The report highlights that public servants are more focused on honing their political and policy skills than technical expertise in most countries.

This means that while many of these leaders have a good understanding of the #digitalagenda, they’re not quite sure how to realise that potential.
