rapid increase of e-readiness in emerging markets (SE Asia, Middle East, Africa)

similar pattern in the NL, in spite of high e-readiness (globally leading in connectivity)
innovation in the public sector is slow and problematic (e.g.: implementation of health records)
striking discrepancy compared to high deployment and innovative use of ICT in/by society

web 2.0 or ‘the social web’
an open web environment
which activates users
in social networks
to produce value
resulting in shifting user-producer relations
6
disruptive impact in the private sector
shift in user roles: users moving up the value chain
impact on user/producer relations:
new players, exploiting dynamics of social networks and user contributed value
new business models
‘long tail’ of niche markets
‘crowdsourcing’ strategies
new revenue models
open innovation strategies, e.g ‘perpetual beta’, co-creation
signs of ‘creative destruction’

conclusion
growing impact of social web on government and public sector: however, awareness in public sector is extremely low
opportunities and risks not recognised
current eGov stuck in 1.0 paradigm: however, take-up is low, many failures, while projects are extremely expensive
risk of a new digital divide, loss of trust in gov, marginalisation of key gov/democratic functions
