Abstract

Electronic Governance is defined in many ways, but all the definitions include an expectation of innovation and improvement in the public sphere. Innovation entails experimentation and risk. Improvement requires deep understanding of the context of government, as well as new tools and new ways of working. Accordingly, advancing electronic governance demands both learning and action. This talk will focus on ways to conceptualize, operationalize, and capitalize on ways to link research and practice in a shared and mutually rewarding enterprise aimed at better public management and better governance.
