@leichteris
About me (2)
Researcher Learned how technological and social systems behave
VisionaryLithuania 2030
Learning Lithuania 2030 Global Citizen 2050
Business owner and mentor Learned how to EXECUTE things
@leichteris
Lessons from e-gov projects
Big money
Little interoperability:
technological
people
No usability
Lesson No.1 !
It’s EASIER for the Government to put another 10 mln EUR than to admit that the project is
not usable, has interoperability issues and does not have TEAM behind
@leichteris
Lessons from NGO
Governmental officials are RIGHT
Business people are RIGHT
Researchers are RIGHT
Opinions are DIFFERENT
Lesson No. 2 !
Discussions ARE difficult and time consuming, but without them you will
FAIL at the execution stage
@leichteris
Lessons from researcher
Linear thinking - let’s push technologies and e-services (administration, regulation, control with lot’s of money to invest)
Interactive - let’s outsource something to private (market, quality, demand, PPP)
Holistic thinking - let’s create something TOGETHER (social capital, networks, empowerment)
Lesson No. 3 !
If you want impact - you need to fight complexity with coordinated actions,
involving many players
@leichteris
Lessons from Visionary
Lithuania 2030
Open - for open data, data sharing, cross-boarder
Creative - for knowledge how to make things happen
Responsible - for security, interoperability, usability
Lesson No. 4 !
Declarations without further implementation are useless. First write
it down - then just deliver it.
@leichteris
Lessons from mentoring
Eliminate uncertainty by testing vision continuously
Not “How to build the e-gov system, e-services”, but WHY ?
Minimum Viable Product (MVP)
Build-Measure-Learn cycle
Lesson No. 5 !
Building e-gov system is a LEARNING procedure, where you build MVP, test it
with clients and then improve.
Notes: Public procurement and gov regulations do not help.
Mobile first and simplification - might help.
@leichteris
Lessons from MINT personal finance startup
In 2 years they grew to 1.5 mln users and sold for 170 mln $ !
Because of that: !
“Validate your idea > Create a prototype > Build the right team > Raise funding"
Lesson No. 6 !
Learn from startups - how they build high growth businesses with 300 000 $
and attract money as they proceed
@leichteris
Lessons from Barack Obama
Sucess with political campaign (many A/B tests over short period, increased conversion rate by more than 150 %)
Failure with e-gov initiative HealthCare.gov
Three young programmers build alternative in a few days:

Lesson No. 7 !
Just continue towards your vision, remaking things and learning from
mistakes
