eGovernment-workshop-rapport

Snaprud kom nettopp tilbake fra Ungarn, der han deltok i en workshop innen nettverket, som også forbereder de neste sammenkomstene.

Her følger Mikael Snapruds rapport fra Ungarn. Den legges ut på engelsk fordi den er en illustrasjon av Snapruds - og dermed UiaS - posisjon i dette feltet, og fordi Informasjonstjenesten for tiden ikke har kapasitet til å gjøre den tilgjengelig på norsk.

eGovMoNet: eGovernment Impact Measurement Workshop report

eGovMoNet is a European thematic network dealing with measurement strategies for the impact and the perceived quality of eGovernment services. The workshop focused on eGovernment Impact Measurement. Participants in the network are leading organisations from eGovernment measurement including government, benchmarking practitioners, application developers, and users. This EU funded project is co-ordinated by University of Agder, Mikael Snaprud.

The presentations, very shortly summarized herein under, may be downloaded here:

The first session was dedicated to gathering data on impact measurement practice using the template. relators included:

Cecília Sikné Lányi talked about "Joint Programme on Accessible Web Design" (EU-Project, Hungary)

A short discussion followed, on how to elaborate on sharing training program experience and content, including possible student assignments in eGovMoNet, addressing also the issue of duration of theses.

Mikael Snaprud, in his talk “ePractice, project handbook, dissemination plan” described ePractice community history and activities, asking partners for comments and suggestions about eGovMoNet deliverables and coming actions, in particular to project handbook (it will be published in the ePractice portal), dissemination plan, participation to events in Malmø, 18 to 19 November 2009.

Further presentations followed - the space available compels us to limit the citation to the presentation title:

* Jeremy Millard (DTI): "Second measure paper summing up the user satisfaction observations and proposals for future work" (Denmark)
* Christine Mahieu (FEDICT), Gino Verleye(UGent): "Development of an operational eGov reporting environment: methodological and practical issues and learnings" (Belgium)
* Sebastiaan van der Peijl (Deloitte): “Measurement of eGovernment user satisfaction and impact” (Belgium)
* Francesco Belgioioso (RSO): “The Benchlearning first year results: an intense experience of measurement” (Italy)
* Morten Goodwin Olsen (Tingtun), Annika Nietzio (FTB): “Impact indicators:State of the art survey”

An innovative initiative, dubbed "Knowledge Café", was held by splitting the workshop participants into four groups, each group assigned a table representative. In the following three questions were discussed for 20 minutes and the discussion was documented on the table clothes.

Among the deliverables of eGovMoNet project, the so called "measure papers" have a central role. Jeremy Millard presented the progress on the second measure paper focusing User Satisfaction Measurement (this paper will be completed by June 2009).

* The Third Measure Paper will be focused on Impact Measurement and lead by Gino Verleye. Participants in the group are Jeremy Millard and Mikael Snaprud with further authors to be included.

* "The Fourth Measure Paper will be focused on Innovative eGov Measurement Methods and practices, to be lead by Xavier Heymans. Participants in the group are Stephen Jenner, Mikael Snaprud, Morten Goodwin Olsen with further authors to be included."

All measure papers are planned to be compiled into the Measure Handbook to be prepared as one of the finalising deliverables from the project. All eGovMoNet meetings are open for interested participants and announced on ePractice as soon as the agenda is stabilised.
