Introduction
1.     “Public value as public sector equivalent to shareholders value”
       Public value benefits can be defined social benefits of corporate
       activity which are hard to value in monetary terms such public
       policy, service improvements and effectiveness/ efficiencies.
       E-procurement and e-governance are typical approach used in
       public sector
       Government using e-procurement to satisfying requirements for
       goods, works, systems, and services in timely manner while by e-
       governance has to met transparency, accountability, and

     such as
    1. Organisation and Management
    2. Practices and process

    (Measure profitability for the state, internal aspects, external aspects, necessity)


§   European Union: e-Government Economics Project
    (Measure quantitative and qualitative components for each dimension of PVIT).


§   Australia: Demand and Value Assessment
     (Assess the benefits of its e-Government initiatives. The study highlighted the need for
      a comprehensive tangible and intangible benefits as well as the probable risks associated)


§   India: E-Governance Assessment Framework

or more IT methodology framework in order to
achieve desired outcome by the stakeholders such
methodologies are , TQM 14 point by Deming ,
balanced scorecard, benchmarking, IT governance
(COBIT,ITIL,CMMI,SIX SIGMA)

Editor's Notes

  • #4: Use a couple of examples to illustrate using technology to create public value, e.g., on-line services save both citizens and government time and money by reducing their need to visit government offices in person People need to change their behaviors to make the best use of new technology, while processes must change to integrate new technology into the business IT governance addresses how technologies will be used, what technologies will be invested in, and who is responsible for realizing value from those investments is required. 3A. It governance is in wide use in the private sector for these purposes
  • #7: At the foundation of IT governance is joint decision-making between IT and operating departments; targeted, focused involvement of key participants; and an IT department that is focused on the success of its customers. A number of supporting disciplines rest upon this foundation, including: IT strategic planning to align community goals with IT activities; business cases to specify the highest priority projects; a transparent process for identifying technology funding and determining which projects to fund; and, finally, understanding the expected value from IT and assigning accountability for realizing that value, including establishing measures of success.
  • #13: It is not enough for the modern finance officer to simply control costs and collect revenues. The finance officer must play an active role in helping government create public value with limited resources. -Business case and shared project evaluation helps identify most valuable projects -IT governance used to measure and monitor value received from IT. The business case should use performance measures or other tangible indicators of success to describe the results the project will achieve and to provide a firm basis for evaluation. -Especially important with enterprise systems because enterprise systems are shared, so accountability can be too diffuse in the absence of IT governance -The need for value realization extends not just to new technologies, but also to existing technologies. This speaks to the need to invest adequately in upgrades and training. IT governance can be used to allocate resources across the IT portfolio adequately to do this. 2. IT projects have inherent risk and risk increases as IT becomes more pervasive. -Business cases identify specific sources of risk and mitigating strategies -Improved communication occurs through mechanisms like Project Management Offices (PMOs), IT liaisons, and the more frequent informal communications that the trust created through IT governance breeds.
  • #15: As technology becomes more pervasive, it becomes a larger cost item. Therefore important to get a handle on both short and long-term costs, including new projects and replacement of existing assets. The modern finance officer must produce information to support decision-making – not just costs and revenues, but value received for the dollar spent. IT governance can be used to define what data is important, who is responsible for collecting and maintaining that data, and how that data will be turned into useful information and be made accessible. Example is an IT architecture plan. Public sector has a duty to provide transparency. IT governance provides transparency on how IT assets are managed, especially as it relates to what is invested in, amount spent and value received.
  • #17: NOTE: THIS SLIDE CAN BE SUBSTITUTED WITH OTHER EXAMPLES OR TAKEN OUT IF THE PRESENTER CAN EXTEMPORANEOUSLY WORK ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLES INTO THE OTHER SLIDES Oakland County is recognized as a top-ten digital county by the center for digital government and has won a GFOA award for excellence for its collaborative use of technology with other jurisdictions The Public Health Department received a homeland security bio-terrorism grant to implement interactive voice response (IVR) to put in place the ability to rapidly contact first responders in an emergency event. In some governments, this grant may have simply been accepted and the system implemented within the department. However, in Nevada County the grant was used as a springboard to create much greater public value. Through its IT governance mechanisms, there was a shared recognition through IT Governance of the potential value of IVR for a host of County functions. Hence, by directing a little extra funding towards this project (20% over the baseline project cost) the County was able to make what would have otherwise been an isolated project in a single functional area into an enterprise strength platform. To illustrate, the library was able to use the IVR system to discontinue $.35 postcard late notices in favor of an $.08 automated phone call. In the community development function, County inspectors can now phone-in inspection results, including the remedial actions required of the holder of the permit. Construction contractors can access the results immediately and then use the system to schedule a re-inspection.
