Sluggish growth of eGovernment take-up

Is collaborative production of eGovernment services the answer to the problem of low usage?
![Page 5: When people meet data EISBUR TAIPS conference Urbino 19/04/12](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070301/54571265af79592b448b506d/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Our research questions
• What does it mean to collaboratively deliver public services?
• What are the success factors?• What are the incentives for:– innovators and third-party players? for citizens?
public administration?

Our case studiesISTAT widget
Google Transit
Digitalkoot
OpenlyLocal
ActivMobs
SeeClickFix
![Page 8: When people meet data EISBUR TAIPS conference Urbino 19/04/12](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070301/54571265af79592b448b506d/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Well-defined needs hence greater uptake
• Digitalkoot managed to engage 8 000 citizens during first four months of the service - equivalent of three person year work !
• SeeClickFix - over 100,000 issues reports (2011), results doubled every year
![Page 9: When people meet data EISBUR TAIPS conference Urbino 19/04/12](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070301/54571265af79592b448b506d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
What’s in for me? Implications of collaborative eGovernment
• For innovators and third-party players• For citizens• For public administration
![Page 10: When people meet data EISBUR TAIPS conference Urbino 19/04/12](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070301/54571265af79592b448b506d/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
What brings in the innovators?
• Desire to make a difference• Opportunities for visibility• Possible financial gain• Low cost of setup– SeeClickFix - first version was created over a weekend by
friends– Chris Taggart set up the OpenlyLocal website a proof of
concept – G-Transit invented as one of the Google Labs initiatives
• Fail small, fast and forward

What drives the citizens to participate?
• New incentives to participate – benefits are tangible – ActivMobs builds a self-help network
• Attracting citizens who are not policy-savvy– No service demands prerequisite knowledge or interest in policy-
making (with exception of OpenlyLocal)• Gamification
– Digitalkoot makes it fun to correct scans of 19th century journals• more social & more local
– SeeClickFix shows the most active contributors• “allowing citizens to demonstrate citizenship in diverse
ways” (Chadwick, 2009)

What is unique contribution that citizens can make to public service delivery?
• IT skills: Openly Local is a far more usable and sophisticated service that government have implemented, ISTAT widget was developed by a civil servant in his free time
• specific thematic knowledge: Openly Local links to hyperlocal bloggers which use the local data to explain the local issues
• experience as users of public services: it is costly and difficult for government to understand the perspective of users. SeeClickFix shows what’s important for citizens in their neighbourhood.
• pervasive geographic coverage: SeeClickFix is more efficient thanintermittent controls of civil servants
• trust: ActiveMobs based its success on the power of imitation and influence of networks
• many eyes and many hands: large collaborative endeavors such as in the case of DigitalKoot are less expensive and easier to coordinate

Increase in uptake results in better quality of the service
“Hands-on care by health professionals can't scale. One-on-one advice from professional intermediaries, like librarians, can't scale. Networked peer support, research, and advice can scale. In other words: Altruism scales.”Susannah Fox

Additive not substitutive services
• A niche that exists – all of the services (with the exception of G-transit) tend to replace a government service
• Therefore there is no need for permission (OpenlyLocal founder expected the service to be
out in couple of days)

ConclusionsNot a magic solution but an opportunity for:
• Job creation• Democracy enhancement • More efficient public service delivery: not a direct saving
but a new way to innovate public services• Still requires change in governance and institutional culture• Conditions for success: relevant topic, appealing design,
transparent impact
