Program

A number of developments are putting public administration under pressure to transform. Demographic change and the already noticeable shortage of skilled labour is just one of these developments. The requirements for the digitalisation of administration represent another challenge. The increasing flood of information requires suitable knowledge management. Experience with the provision of digital services is increasingly changing the expectations of citizens and companies. Fiscal consolidation following the coronavirus pandemic means less financial leeway. The administration is also faced with the task of shortening lengthy procedures and approval processes. The administration is also confronted with the challenges of the increasing polarisation of society and the shift in social preferences.
