Transformational Government Workshop

9th December 2010

Washington DC

WelcomeA few words about me: I am the chair of the Transformational Government Framework Technical Committee. I am also the chair of the OASIS eGov Member Section and chair of the OASIS Technical Committee on e-voting standards. I am also a past Director of OASIS. I spent the majority of my career working on the development of ICT systems, policies, strategies and procedures for central and local government in the United Kingdom. I worked in the Office of e-Envoy (and subsequently the Cabinet Office’s e-Government Unit) where I was the Director of Technology, responsible for the UK’s e-Government Interoperability Framework (e-GIF) and other e-government and e-voting technical policies and standards. I took early retirement from the UK Civil Service in 2006 after 38 years service and have since been a self-employed consultant.

OASIS Overview OASIS is a member consortium dedicated to building systems’ interoperability specifications

Main focus is on applications of structured information standards (eg XML, SGML) but increasing focus on adoption of standards

Members of OASIS are providers, users and specialists of standards-based technologies

Include organisations, individuals, industry groups and governments

More than 500 member organisations, 1000s individuals

Global, Not-for-profit, Open, Independent

Successful through industry and government wide collaboration

MOUs and Liaison Agreements with all major standardisation bodies, eg ISO, UN/CEFACT, CEN, W3C, etc.

Working Arrangements

1. Technical Committees are set-up by OASIS members to deliver a specific piece of work and then, usually, close down. The Transformational Government TC seeks to produce an overall

framework for using information technology to improve the delivery of public services through better citizen engagement to assure greater use and return on investment.

2. Member Sections are created when a collection of OASIS Members recognize a particular need or common goal and are willing to commit to work on that need over an extended period. The eGovernment Member Section serves as a focal point for

discussions of government and public administration requirements for e-business standardization.

Transformational Government Framework

Suggested content, but subject to TC discussions:

1. Transformational Government Reference Model

2. A Business Model for Change

3. A series of Policy Products

4. A series of Guiding Principles

5. A Value Chain for Citizen Service Transformation

6. A Delivery Roadmap

7. A Checklist of Critical Success Factors
