PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS • Government organisations, industry bodies and business need to collaborate to unlock the value from digital transformation. • Government needs to partner with industry bodies and business to leverage their skills and expertise. Industry and business participants, in turn, need to pass on the benefits of digital to society to unlock value for all stakeholders. REGULATION AND POLICY • While framing new regulations and policies, embrace a digital-first mindset, encouraging and incentivising the adoption of digital technologies. • A collaborative approach must be adopted, involving companies and consumers in the processes of policymaking. PHYSICAL & DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE • Ubiquitous and unified access to physical connectivity (ports, roads, airports, etc.) and mobile connectivity (e.g., 4G, 5G) is imperative. • Develop interoperable systems that enable seamless interaction for all participants, eliminating process inefficiencies. DIGITAL SKILLS & TRAINING • Undertake a countrywide skills development programme to address new digital skills requirements across all levels. • Active participation of stakeholders in the education system and the support of industry bodies and businesses across sectors is required. CAPITAL SPENDING • Both government and industry stakeholders need to earmark funds and allocate capital for investment in digital tools, technologies and skills. • While incremental process changes might help to create some value, unlocking the total value might require giving up legacy infrastructure and investments in favour of new tools and technologies. TRANSPARENCY • Government needs to embrace digital technologies to enable transparency across public services. • Business leaders need to gain digital trust to better leverage business and technology opportunities, such as those relating to IoT, new or data-driven business models. 1 2 3 4 5 6 16
