Challenges for the public sector

From local authorities, regional, national and global institutions to education and non-profit organizations: every actor in the public sector faces a series of typical challenges and risks. These include:  

Putting citizens front and center – on a tight budget

Citizens have become used to customized and digital services and expect the same level of convenience and transparency from government services. More than services and information, they even require participation in public decision-making. At the same time, budget constraints urge governments and public services to drive (cost-)efficiency and to do more with less.

Addressing the need for diversity & inclusion

As the world grows more diverse, government organizations need to increase diversity and inclusion amongst their workforce to build trust and citizen engagement. Additionally, offering inclusive services is just as important – yet, not easy in a world that’s rapidly shifting to digital. ‘One size fits all’ is no longer an option.

Upskilling and engaging the workforce

Citizen-centric services must be innovative and seamless. That’s why governments need to remove the barriers that impede innovation, equip their teams with new skills and foster a culture of continuous improvement. This way, they’ll make the public sector a more attractive place to work.

Navigating the challenges of digital transformation

Complex legacy systems, budget constraints, resistance to change and security and privacy concerns: there’s a long list of challenges that hamper digital transformation in the public sector.

Opportunities, spurred by technology

In spite of the above – and many other – hurdles, these are exciting times for the public sector to reshape their processes to become a future-proof government. When managed smartly, digital transformation and ecosystems can help to overcome the many challenges underway. 


Trust the power of technology 

Technology has the power to transform both the way governments and public services work, and the way they interact with citizens and businesses. Embracing digital transformation helps authorities streamline processes to boost productivity and cut costs. Moreover, as repetitive tasks are automated, public servants win time to spend on valuable, citizen-centric tasks. In addition, new digital tools enable the smarter, faster, personalized communications that citizens have come to expect.


Work in ecosystems

To access expertise and resources that they may not have in-house, public authorities increasingly join forces with internal and external stakeholders, like businesses, citizens, the academic world, etc., in ecosystems. Different than traditional public-private collabs, ecosystems put every player on an equal footing, which fosters co-innovation and co-creation and guarantees better results.
