May - 20196GOVERNMENT CIO OUTLOOKEDITORIALThe Next generation of GovernanceCountries in all regions are increasingly embracing innovation and utilizing ICTs to deliver services, increase transparency and engage people in decision-making processes. The global E-Government Development Index (EGDI), based on three components: provision of online services, telecommunication connectivity, and human capacity, has observed the inception of some of the e-governance trends that will shape the industry for good. One such emerging trend in e-government is the evolution towards integrated public services online through one-stop platforms. Services from various public agencies are bundled together as a single, joined-up service in a one-stop-shop. This makes it easier for people to interact with public administration.E-government can help connect individual systems and government functions, as well as public services, into a coherent system, thus enabling whole-of-government (WoG) service delivery in the economic, social and environmental areas. The advent of afore mentioned trends has shown an increasing number of countries with a government-wide CIO institution or equivalent authority body for coordinating national e-government development. In an effort to make public institutions more inclusive, effective, accountable and transparent, many governments are opening up their data for public information and scrutiny. Making data available online for free allows the public and various civil society organizations to reuse and remix them for any purpose. This can potentially lead to innovation and new or improved services, new understanding and ideas. Moreover, combining open data with new technologies like Big Data analytics, the Internet of Things, geographic information systems which constitute powerful tools for efficiency gains and anticipatory governance, can enable government bodies to focus on prevention rather than reaction.Furthermore, the widespread expansion of E-participation all over the world is significantly evident with growing access to social media. Today, an increasing number of countries proactively use networking opportunities to engage with people and evolve towards participatory decision-making which is done through open data, online consultations and multiple ICT-related channels.These e-governance trends are expected to transform the entire landscape of global governance and even more so the industry players that are driving this change. This edition of Gov CIO Outlook highlights some of those players who have been critical in influencing the next wave of disruption in the e-government space. this edition will also feature thought leadership and exclusive insights shared by CIOs and CXOs.
