| dct:description | (Statement) Public administrations' digital transformation must be based on the identification of cross-organisational needs and the development of internal and external partnerships. |
| dct:description | (Rationale) Strong and reliable relationships with other EU institutions and beyond should be fostered to share resources, knowledge, and expertise. These partnerships are essential for staying at the forefront of the latest technological trends and ensuring that digital transformation efforts are aligned with broader strategic goals. By collaborating with various stakeholders, public administrations can leverage diverse perspectives and capabilities, leading to more innovative and effective solutions. Specific approaches in technology, such as user-centric design, data-driven decision-making, and agile methodologies, must be pursued to enhance the responsiveness and adaptability of public services. These collaborative efforts not only improve service delivery but also build a resilient and interconnected digital ecosystem that can better serve the needs of citizens and businesses. |
| dct:description | (Implications) The creation of Memoranda of Understanding (MoU) and organisational agreements is required to ensure that public institutions are aware of their roles and the roles of others. These agreements should outline the responsibilities, expectations, and contributions of each party, fostering a clear and cooperative framework for collaboration. Public administrations must establish governance structures that facilitate regular communication, coordination, and joint decision-making among partners. This includes setting up cross-organisational teams, holding regular meetings, and using collaborative tools and platforms to share information and resources. Additionally, public bodies should invest in capacity-building initiatives to enhance the skills and competencies of their staff, enabling them to effectively engage in and contribute to digital partnerships. By following these guidelines, public administrations can create strong and sustainable partnerships that drive digital transformation and improve public service delivery. |
