Working Group Presentation
Over the last decade, major efforts and investments have been done in the public sector to move into the digital age. These initiatives have mainly focused on the first steps, i.e. defining and implementing services accessible electronically to citizens on the basis of existing information and data. This has enabled to transform existing processes into electronic ones and to provide secure and individual online access through services.
In that sense, the e-Government concept was clearly in line with the fact that the main focus was on the application of ICT to existing processes and activities of the public sector.
 
By the way, this automation has been mainly discontinuous in that focusing on point-to-point needs rather than envisaging a completely new and innovative approach to the public sector. Innovation, in particular, has been mainly localised in the technologies and the implementation of existing processes and did not extend to rethink the approaches used by the public sector.
 
The time has come to focus on Open Government that is to foster innovation in the public sector enabling to go beyond the technologies and starting from the new approaches based on novel modes of interaction between citizens and public services in all areas.
 
This was clearly reflected in the thematic priorities document issued in the preparation of FP7 - “No citizen left behind – inclusion by design”[1]. By 2010 all citizens, including socially disadvantaged groups, will have become major beneficiaries of eGovernment. Furthermore by 2010 European public administrations will have made public information and services more easily accessible through innovative use of ICT and through increasing public trust, increasing awareness of eGovernment benefits and through improving skills and support for all users.
 
The importance of this evolution extends far beyond the scope of the services themselves; indeed, the public sector is a key actor in relation with the development and evolution of their geographical territory and the impact of public sector services directly influence the political and economical environments.
