Public Sector Digitalisation

Going digital with citizens in mind

Let's face it: adoption of digital solution is a very different process for the public sector institutions than it is for businesses. Rules and regulations are different in terms of citizen participation, transparency and accountability. Good administrative practices go even further and strive towards happy citizens, happy communities. 

Yet, public sector is often left alone with the pressure to digitally transform, as no additional resources for hiring talent or citizen participation is granted.

 

We want to help you with your efforts by:

 

  • Facilitating citizen workshops and dialogues

  • Helping project teams ensure ethical use of AI

  • Coaching your staff on AI ethics

 

All other Harmless services are also available for public sector institutions, too, of course.
