Today

A few words on our societal context.

Choose your mindset.

« Good Big Brother »

« Free Enterprise »

« Smooth Continuity »

« Good Big Brother »

Most local government offices offering points of presence are closed in favor of online services

Services are provided through centralized portals

Strong Centralization

Massive data collection and analysis

Citizen, global and unique identifier

360 degrees / birds eye view of the citizens

« Free Enterprise »

Most of the government workforce is involved in policy development, compliance or regulatory activities.

Government role is limited to Defense, Safety and Justice

Services provided by the private sector

Public data and citizen information are decentralized and outsourced to the private sector

« Smooth Continuity »

Public services have evolved “ smoothly ” since the early 21st century

Opportunistic approach to service provisioning and use

A reasonable number of services and information are outsourced

Citizens are concerned and aware of privacy and ethical issues

Anyone with a Wild Card ?

Select your mindset and form your workgroups

accordingly.
