Tag: OZG 2.0
Comment: OZG 2.0 is coming. But is that enough?
The mediation procedure for the OZG has been decided and we finally have a settlement proposal. The digitalisation of public administration in Germany must now be driven forward quickly. However, a law alone is not enough. We need the genuine political will to adapt our state and its administration to the challenges of our time.
Impact and changes of the OZG 2.0 law
Despite recognisable progress, the digitalisation of administrative services in Germany is lagging behind the expectations of the population. By the end of 2023, only 81 out of 581 services had been implemented online. More than two-thirds (404) have not been digitalised – Digitale Verwaltung not found, one might say. The OZG Amendment Act was passed to kickstart the digitalisation process.
Comment: The OZG 2.0 lacks a clear strategy and a powerful technical basis
Dealing with the authorities at the click of a mouse - the implementation of the OZG should make this easier. However, the digital reorganisation of public administration has not only stalled with the expiry of the OZG deadline. With the "OZG Amendment Act", we are lagging behind in sporting terms - and already in injury time. What is needed above all is a radical rethink at state level, a review of tasks in the provision of services for the municipal level and a technical basis as a foundation.
Bringing the OZG 2.0 onto the home straight – mgm at the “Digital State”
The Digital State - one of the most important events for digital transformation in Germany: this year, the congress organised by Behörden Spiegel will take place from 12 to 13 March at Vienna House Andel's Berlin under the motto "faster, stronger, more sovereign - together". Numerous participants from public administration will discuss the latest trends and developments in the field of digital administration.
