Chapter 15: Future of Administration and Government Innovation

The world is changing at the speed of light. Faced with new challenges such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big Data, and the climate crisis, how should the government transform?

1. Digital Platform Government

While the ‘E-government’ of the past simply digitized paper documents, ‘Digital Platform Government’ is a system that connects all data to provide intelligent, predictive services.

• Features:
  • Data Integration: Eliminating silos between departments and managing information holistically.
  • Proactive Service: Recommending necessary services to citizens before they even request them.
  • Private-Public Collaboration: Technical opening of government data to the private sector to create new value.

2. Intelligent Administration (AI & Big Data)

Improving the predictability of policies through AI and Big Data analytics.

• Predictive Administration: Analyzing large-scale data to predict and respond to disasters, traffic, and infectious diseases in advance.
• Tailored Administration: Delivering precise welfare services tailored to the individual citizen’s situation.

3. ESG and Expansion of Public Values

ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) principles are becoming critical not just for profit-seeking corporations, but also for the public sector.

• E (Environmental): Implementing carbon-neutral administration.
• S (Social): Distributing inclusive welfare and realizing social value.
• G (Governance): Transparent and democratic decision-making and an upright organizational culture.

4. Agile Government

A mechanism that breaks away from rigid bureaucracy to respond swiftly and fluidly to changing environments.

• Core: Iterative feedback, small-unit teamwork, and acceptance of rapid experimentation and failure.
