Title Public sector digitalization
Description Digital Governance is a graduate-level interdisciplinary seminar course that will seek to engage with the deployment of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) within the government's functions, activities, and processes. It aims to enhance the public managers' knowledge, competence, and skills to lead public sector digital transformation effectively. While the course will prioritize three distinct approaches (legal, political, and managerial) to the study of digital governance as an applied field of knowledge and practice, it will borrow theoretical insights drawn from multiple disciplines using case studies organized around particular themes. In line with the aim of the recent Berlin Declaration on Digital Society and Value-Based Digital Government, this course will prepare the students to facilitate 'value-based digital transformation by addressing and ultimately strengthening digital participation and digital inclusion in our societies.'

Through this course, students will familiarize themselves with the recent advances in the digital transformation of the public sector, evaluate the socio-technological implications of digital transformation, and engage with the ethical and legal ramifications of organizational change and digital transformation. In addition, they will have an opportunity to undertake group-based activities to explore the opportunities to improve government operations and ways to overcome structural and institutional obstacles to change. Finally, the course will orient students to engage with the service user experience deeply; anticipate and mitigate the privacy, security, and ethical risks with the potential for disparate impact on vulnerable social groups; and appreciate the need for precaution.
