What is common wisdom (elsewhere?...)
• The Biggest Successes are Often Bred from Failures!• What distinguishes a research project is not its
successes, but the way in which it deals with failures. • The central issue is about experimentation, innovation,
and taking new risks. • Only projects that can deal with failure and still make
money can exist in this environment. • What is usual is to face many, many failures and a few
extraordinary successes.

Reality check• we are not facing a lack on enabling technologies but • we are indeed facing a lack on paradigms to successfully
deploy them
• In this context we turned to capacity building, in order to provide the means for public organizations to develop a set of relevant capacities that will help them adopt our solutions

Capacity building…
• What is different from e-Learning?– Or: Is it different from e-Learning?
• Let’s look at our (ALTEC’s) experiences…

ALTEC’s capacity building portal
• We used moodle– Why? No cost, much experience out there, good
support• We selected material from all e-Gov projects that
ALTEC participated and organised it in sessions in order to facilitate learning processes
• Till this point, everything runs like in a conventional e-Learning project!

From e-Learning to Capacity Building: The case of the IST OneStopGov project (1/2)
• What the project is about?• Introduction of a life-event model and the
corresponding IT solution to address e-Government service needs in the enlarged Europe

From e-Learning to Capacity Building: The case of the IST OneStopGov project (2/2)
• Situation as is:– A small team from each Public Administration
participates in the project activities– Either high-rank officers or temporary
employed for the needs of the project• Result: after the project ends, no – or
limited - intellectual capital remains at the PA side

Experiences…• It is difficult to impose this process on a voluntary base
– Example: in one project, none of the involved PAs exhibited any interest in communicating the existence of the portal to its employees. The case is typical.
• Capacity building efforts should be tightly coupled with the dissemination and exploitation activities of all consortium members
• Reluctance to access and use the portal from the PA sides can unveil much about the real value they get from the research projects
• We are fully committed in continuing our investments in this direction – it is a one-way for increasing the value of our research within the end users’ communities

Pathway to future projects• Users should be encouraged
to organise themselves into Communities
• The Communities should be helped to express their needs
• Technology should be naturally implemented and not part of a head-fake exercise (I have the solution – show me the problem!)
• The importance of helping the users build their own capacities should become a natural part of all e-Gov projects

Two ideas for future projects• Our effort is repository-based (like a repository of best
practices for e-Gov etc.)• One idea is to research the area of networks of best
practice for e-Gov• A second idea is for setting up a laboratory for e-
democracy that would help organisations (local or regional or central government) to converge into practices that are optimal for application and use in different contexts
