Course Overview

Society is becoming increasingly tech-savvy and with it rises the need for e-governance. E-government, also known as electronic government, is one that primarily uses information and communication technologies to improve activities of public sector organisations.

E-government offers online services through digitisation and uses technology for economic development. With the private sector advancing rapidly in the use of technology to get all transactions and interactions online, the public sector is left with little time to wait to implement these.

Each public sector organisation needs to define e-governance for itself, one that suits its employees, customer and service objective, and move towards implementing the same at a fast pace. Establishing a definition of the e-governance style an organisation should adopt is the first step to building a strategy for setting up e-governance because the definition of what constitutes e-governance could differ across organisations depending on their values, goals and culture.

Against the common belief, e-governance is not restricted to website, email or online transactions; these are part of the activities and functions of e-government. Service provision to the public 24/7, digital democracy through email, teleconferencing facilities and other updated technologies and economic development by increasing the quality of service delivery through technology are the three broad categories addressed when implementing e-governance.

Introducing e-governance into a public sector organisation is not an easy task and hence needs to be done carefully to ensure success. As a result, public sector organisations need to devise strategies, re-engineer their processes and systems to support digitisation and modernisation and then implement e-government initiatives.

Process (re-engineering them to support digitisation), people (training and upskilling public sector employees to use updated technology) and technology (assessing an organisation’s infrastructure and identifying the new and updated technologies that need to be introduced) are the three critical success factors for understanding organisational readiness to move to e-governance. With the changing landscape of customer demand and requirements, public sector organisations are left with no option but to move to an e-government arrangement.

This ZOE training course will empower you with end-to-end knowledge and experience of e-governance. Since the style of management and governance in each organisation differs depending on various factors, this course will give you the necessary perspective to strategise and focus on the correct aspects of your organisation in order to successfully implement and manage e-governance.

Undertaking this E-Government and E-Governance: Digital Government in Public Service Course course will prepare you to play a pivotal role in the introduction of e-governance within your organisation, in turn providing you with a platform to demonstrate your capabilities and secure your growth and progression within your organisation.

By helping your organisation move towards digitisation and modernisation using the knowledge and experience gained through this course, you will establish a career in a competitive organisation and will build your confidence, experience and exposure to work in any other organisation using advanced technologies.
