Public administration reforms
This program is a partnership ENA / ENSCI / Ecole Polytechnique / Sciences Po.
Innovations, digital technology, changes in participation : for several years, public action has been challenged by a dynamic context and new expectations with the constant idea of serving citizens as efficiently as possible. In France, as in other countries, the State, local government and public administrations undertake or support many initiatives at various levels in order to fill the gap between administration, innovation and design. This program will enable you to discover methods and tools (immersion, nudges, data, etc.) for an innovative public action. By the mean of French case studies and visits to third-party sites (labs, incubators, etc.), it presents the transformation and new public conception in administration and public services. It also includes a “management” dimension with regard to new ways of innovating, new ecosystems, start-ups or inter-entrepreneurship.
Objectives
- to understand the issues and the role of digital technologies in public policy (Big Data, development of digital administration, digital governance, civic tech, mechanisms of incubations, etc.).
