Study on Digital Transformation in the Public Sector
Why do some countries do digital better than others? This was our starting point as we began initiating this study at the end
of 2021. We are a consultancy whose business is shaping digital transformation in several European countries, and, in 2021, we
were seeking a deeper understanding of the factors that help transformation initiatives succeed.
What is this “New Thinking” and how does it work?
Quite simply, in terms of this study, it is the intentional act of creating a thriving environment for the needed changes to take root and grow. It builds on the in-
sight that digital transformations in the public sector need to happen at multiple levels, especially at the levels of system & policy and organization & ecosystem.
The good news is, that our study provides a practical guide for stakeholders and decision makers to follow at all government levels. Roles and responsibilities are
presented along with a set of requirements and tasks, thereby ensuring the common goal of generating public value, and with it, meeting public expectations.
