A perfect storm has hit the public sector — the pandemic, climate change, the cost-of-living crisis, heightened citizen expectations, and significant economic stimuli. These economic stimuli offer governments a once-in-a-century opportunity to reimagine their economies — to deliver net-zero locations and high-performing public administrations and to improve populations' quality of life and wellbeing. For example, the European Union is pumping €800 billion into the region's economy via the European Commission's NextGenerationEU recovery instrument. Leveraging data and technological innovations will be critical to realizing this opportunity. IDC Government Insights: Europe, Middle East and Africa Government Citizen Services offers frameworks and insights for government executives and their partners; reveals how leading organizations are sourcing, implementing, and using technology; and provides data to drive better social, economic, and environmental outcomes for public administrations and citizens.
