Verso uno Smart Working maturo: appunti di un viaggio in VeLA

Evento conclusivo del Progetto VeLA – Veloce, Leggero, Agile: lo Smart Working per la PA

16 Maggio, 2019  da 15:00 a 18:00, Forum PA, Roma Convention Center “La Nuvola”

Nove Enti partner, una buona pratica e un kit di riuso a disposizione delle PA che vorranno implementare un modello di smart working. Il progetto VeLA – Veloce, Leggero, Agile: lo Smart Working per la PA è finanziato dal PON GOV 2014-2020 nell’ambito del primo bando di Open Community PA.

Il progetto è un laboratorio in evoluzione, un’occasione di approfondimento del tema dello smart working, delle criticità e delle opportunità con cui le Amministrazioni pubbliche nell’attuale fase di sperimentazione si stanno confrontando. Per oltre un anno gli Enti partner hanno lavorato sui temi organizzativi, amministrativi e procedurali, ma si sono anche aperte al confronto sull’accompagnamento agli smart worker e all’empowerment della dirigenza, alla comunicazione ai cittadini e alla misurazione e valutazione della performance e della produttiva del lavoratore, agli spazi come leva del cambiamento e al ruolo abilitante delle tecnologie.

Questo appuntamento rappresenta il convegno finale di questa esperienza di lavoro insieme, che non si conclude con il progetto, ma che vede le amministrazioni impegnate in una roadmap di implementazione e soprattutto in un’azione di sensibilizzazione e di trasferimento ad altre Amministrazioni.

La presentazione del kit di riuso e dei risultati del progetto sarà alternata a pitch di esperti su alcuni temi aperti su cui VeLA vuole puntare l’attenzione e rilanciare il dibattito futuro in materia di smart working.

Il convegno sarà l’occasione per analizzare oltre ai risultati del progetto, alcuni focus tematici connessi allo smart working, dal service design all’attrattività dei talenti fino al futuro possibili delle modalità di lavoro agile.

Digital Transformation of Public Administration in Europe

A ROLE FOR PA THROUGH BIG DATA AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE EU VISION AND PRACTICES FROM A REGIONAL PERSPECTIVE

SECOND HIGH LEVEL SEMINAR

14 MAY 2019 10.00 - 16.00 

VENUE: Emilia-Romagna Region Rue Montoyer 21, Brussels

The rapid integration of digital technologies poses a number of challenges for national, regional and local governments. An important aspect of this transformation concerns citizens’ and businesses’ expectations about their interaction with governments. This requires the digital transformation of governments themselves to rise to this challenge. Public administrations need to change the way they work and organise themselves, ensuring they have the skills needed to use new digital tools, work collaboratively and engage with citizens and businesses.

The EU vision is to make Public Administration open, efficient, inclusive, borderless and user-friendly by providing a new digital environment for public services. With the eGovernment Action Plan, the European Commission considers that digital transformation of Public Administration is key for a successful Digital Single Market. The Single Market will be enhanced by common initiatives on Big Data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) that are on top of the EU agenda.

A EU common effort includes a consistent legal basis, policies and financing programmes mainly addressed to the public sector, research and infrastructures, big data, digital interoperability and innovative solutions for public administrations, with increased attention to Artificial Intelligence. Following last year Member States Declaration, a Coordinated Plan has also been adopted last December to pave the way for the future of a trustworthy AI.

In this context, the government of Emilia-Romagna has developed a robust strategy, together with national and regional research centers, to create a big data infrastructure, also with the aim to use data sets coming from PA, particularly from the health care and transport sectors. In the field of AI for Public Administration, it has identified a number of priorities.

Being closer to citizens, European regions can thus provide a significant contribution to make Public Administration systems more efficient, capable of generating public value and delivering better public services to local communities.

The aim of this second Seminar is to deepen the debate on the Digital transformation, by bringing together representatives from the European Commission, European regions and the private sector. It will also explore the possibility to establish an Open Government platform to address societal challenges, design and share common solutions.
