Intelligent management networks

Over the past 12 months, the Covid-19 pandemic has clearly shown us the inestimable value of a functioning public administration – but also where there is an urgent need for action in terms of its future viability. New digital technologies open up far-reaching potential for efficiency and design, especially in the area of public administration.

This concerns both new possibilities in the area of user-friendly digital provision, processing and greater automation of administrative services as well as the development and implementation of local and regional strategies for actively shaping the municipal future on the basis of cooperative data infrastructures, digitally sovereign platforms and secure digital identities as the technical basis for new types of digital ecosystems, municipal and regional value chains and trustworthy platforms for the digital urban society (smart city / smart region).

This is because our 10,799 municipalities have a key role to play in actively shaping social transformation in many respects. The spectrum ranges from modernizing administration to rethinking and converging public infrastructures (digital city and data networks) and local and regional activities to tackle climate change to securing prosperity and employment in times of advancing digitalization and dematerialization of the economy and administration. The strategic goal of the Smart Administration Networks expert group is to provide the best possible support for this process. This includes promoting inter-municipal cooperation with regard to the conception, provision and subsequent use of administrative services in the process of implementing the OZG in accordance with the EfA principle (one for all) as well as the joint search for new innovative solutions in the area of state and administrative modernization (“cooperative digitalization”).

Goals and focus topics

  1. Identification, networking and support of pioneering projects in relation to cooperative digitalization in the area of public administration (including the promotion of open source and cooperative business models)
  2. Stronger interlinking of strategies, projects and technical infrastructures in the fields of e-government (e.g. OZG implementation, register modernization), secure digital identities (e.g. SSI, wallets) and smart city / smart region (e.g. cooperative data infrastructures, digital urban society).
  3. Active support of initiatives in the field of standardization of data and interfaces in the area of smart cities / smart regions (including descriptive project data / metadata for networking / consolidation of good practice collections).

The preliminary 2021 work program of the Smart Administrative Networks expert group includes the following priorities

  1. Technical and content-related processing of the focus topics defined above
  2. Supporting the Intelligent Networking Working Group with regard to
  1. Intensification of cooperation with Platform 6 “Digital Administration and Public IT” (e.g. joint communication and/or working formats)

Target image of intelligent administrative networks 2020:

In 2020, there is a broad consensus regarding the assessment that fundamental social transformation processes can only be mastered in a partnership between politics, administration, business, science and civil society. Key target components are:

In 2020, the legal foundations will be in place to tap into the potential of new technologies in all areas of society and at the same time comprehensively protect the fundamental values of our society, even in an increasingly digital world. As part of the next stage of the federalism reform, the principles and principles of administrative work have been redefined. Key target components are:

In 2020, a wide range of new forms of cooperation within public administration and in collaboration with business and civil society have been established on the basis of comprehensive IT networking. The main target components are

In 2020, efficient and transparent working and management structures for the cooperation between administration, business and
science have been established. Innovative solution architectures
are being jointly developed and new institutional arrangements are being tested in trial areas. The “Government as a Service” paradigm has developed into a significant
driving force. Key target components are:

In 2020, the networked administration will have integrated, multi-channel-capable and intelligent service infrastructures, including open interfaces for the integration and dynamic bundling of e-services. Through comprehensive mobilization and personalization of public IT offerings, consistent process orientation and standardization, as well as service-oriented coupling of central and distributed IT systems, the
administration is increasingly working independently of location in cross-administration value creation networks. Key target components are
