This volume constitutes a first approximation for the use of
systems approaches and dynamic performance management as tools for
collaborative governance. The chapters examine models and
simulations used in some specific systems approaches, which
contribute to facilitating problem focus and collective
understanding of collaborative governance, especially in the area
of performance management. The explicit connection between
resources and outcomes promoted by this view helps managers to
understand better how to improve policy and to create positive
outcomes that create public value.

This book investigates the ways in which these systems can promote
public value by encouraging the disclosure and reuse of
privately-held data in ways that support collective values such as
environmental sustainability. Supported by funding from the
National Science Foundation, the authors' research team has been
working on one such system, designed to enhance consumers ability
to access information about the sustainability of the products that
they buy and the supply chains that produce them. Pulled by rapidly
developing technology and pushed by budget cuts, politicians and
public managers are attempting to find ways to increase the public
value of their actions. Policymakers are increasingly acknowledging
the potential that lies in publicly disclosing more of the data
that they hold, as well as incentivizing individuals and
organizations to access, use, and combine it in new ways. Due to
technological advances which include smarter phones, better ways to
track objects and people as they travel, and more efficient data
processing, it is now possible to build systems which use shared,
transparent data in creative ways. The book adds to the current
conversation among academics and practitioners about how to promote
public value through data disclosure, focusing particularly on the
roles that governments, businesses and non-profit actors can play
in this process, making it of interest to both scholars and
policy-makers.

This book provides key strategic principles and best practices to
guide the design and implementation of digital government
strategies. It provides a series of recommendations and findings to
think about IT applications in government as a platform for
information, services and collaboration, and strategies to avoid
identified pitfalls. Digital government research suggests that
information technologies have the potential to generate immense
public value and transform the relationships between governments,
citizens, businesses and other stakeholders. However, developing
innovative and high impact solutions for citizens hinges on the
development of strategic institutional, organizational and
technical capabilities. Thus far, particular characteristics and
problems of the public sector organization promote the development
of poorly integrated and difficult to maintain applications. For
example, governments maintain separate applications for open data,
transparency, and public services, leading to duplication of
efforts and a waste of resources. The costs associated with
maintaining such sets of poorly integrated systems may limit the
use of resources to future projects and innovation. This book
provides best practices and recommendations based on extensive
research in both Mexico and the United States on how governments
can develop a digital government strategy for creating public
value, how to finance digital innovation in the public sector, how
to building successful collaboration networks and foster citizen
engagement, and how to correctly implement open government projects
and open data. It will be of interest to researchers,
practitioners, students, and public sector IT professionals that
work in the design and implementation of technology-based projects
and programs.
