Focus: Electronic and Mobile Government, Citizen Engagement, Internet Governance
Country: Australia
Created: Apr 14, 2011


The Australian Government Information Management Office (AGIMO) outlined the government’s future use of ICT, shifting the focus to productivity, in the recently released draft ICT Strategic Vision.

The Strategic Vision for the Australian Government’s use of ICT states that “ICT will increase public sector productivity by enabling the delivery of world leading government services for Australian people, communities and businesses, supporting open engagement to better inform decisions, and improving the operations of government.”

The Government will deliver the Vision and increase productivity through three strategic priorities – Deliver better services, Engage openly, and Improve government operations, two strategic actions to support the implementation of each strategic priority.

In delivering better services, the government should build capability across all departments and enable better services using ICT to simplify and integrate government services to both people and business while maintaining necessary security and privacy.

Collaborating effectively by building better partnerships to improve the effectiveness of government consultations and creating knowledge to share and manage information are the strategic steps to engage openly.

And to improve operations, the government should invest optimally and encourage innovation in order to harness the full potential of the digital economy for better service delivery.

AGIMO will work with agencies to develop detailed implementation approaches that deliver the strategic priorities and improve productivity.
