ICT solutions for good governance and growth :
It is all about decisions …

XII. BLED FORUM ON EUROPE, Bled 3-4 March 2011
Rising number of tipping points, unpredictable “black swan” events: (financial and economic crisis; terrorist attacks, volcano ash cloud; large scale black-out; climate change)
Can’t be adequately addressed by traditional econometric models
Politicians are not used to evidence-based decisions
Explosion in authorship, co-creation and collaboration◦ Mass collaboration and
participation◦ Open data, open
innovation models◦ Government 2.0◦ More intelligence and
more stupidity, more signal and more noise
The problem: policy-making in a complex world
Society: increasingly interconnected, flexible, fast-evolving, unpredictable
Governance: often silos-based, linear, obscure, hierarchical, over-simplified
The Problem: Gap between Society and
Governance
Policies Health R&D Social

The problem: many technologies needed to deliver on target:

So ?
A roadmap for ICT-enabled governance research, beyond 2010, to address global challenges:
• What are the new needed research directions ?
• How should we team-up among governments, industry and citizens ?
• When should we expect results ?

2020: A Paradigm Shift in Policy-making
More people involved (collaborative governance)
More accurate and analytical, modeling and simulation tools
More data available (the data deluge)
2010
2020
The Grand Challenges for governance
www.crossroad-eu.net
Model-based collaborative governance Research challenges
Integrated, composable and reusable models simulating large societal phenomena
Interactive, on-line and open simulation: the “objective function” is constantly evaluated so that action is taken
Collaborative modelling : citizens, NGO’s, businesses and administrations together
A massive campaign is needed for evidence-based decision making for governments
Research challenges
Real-time, high-quality, reusable open government data
Privacy-compliant participatory sensing for real-time policy-making
Peer-to-peer public opinion mining
Intuitive, collaborative visual analytics of data for policy-making
User-generated simulation and gaming tools for public action
New institutional design of collaborative governance
Data-powered collective intelligence and action
CROSSROAD: A collaborative journey …
… and a vivid research community
Next Steps in ICT-enabled Governance
An FP7 research project, utilising social media and widgets to reach citizens and discuss on policy-making through different media and devices and then process interactions through on-line simulation tools to support decisions

Next Steps in ICT-enabled Governance
Model-based governance: A proposal for an IP project (10 M EUR) is under evaluation. Slovenia / Western Balkans is one of the key pilots (climate change and growth)
Open Governmental Data: A pan-european research project soon to start for Public Information curation and provision for governance scientists
As a conclusion
We need a totally different set of tools for evidence-based decision making by governments
Societal Simulation and virtual reality will be the next “big thing” for governments that wish to make a difference
We need to go beyond pure ICT approaches and embark in a multi-disciplinary journey
We should not just “do things right”: we should “do the right things”
