How to do it well? Lessons from digital projects (SK)
The digitalization of public administration in Slovakia presents a challenge that requires a clear vision, effective management, and investment in skilled professionals. Despite significant funding from both public and European sources, Slovakia lags behind most EU countries in digitalization. There is a lack of strong leadership, coordination between the state, private sector, and civil society, as well as an action plan and strategic management.
The Supreme Audit Office of the Slovak Republic highlights the need for transparency, efficient use of resources, and strengthening of managerial capacities. Key challenges include the low adoption of electronic services by citizens and unsuccessful projects due to the absence of a clear strategy.
The future of digitalization lies in a focus on cybersecurity, the development of IT specialists, data analytics and artificial intelligence, as well as transparency and accountability in services. Together, we can ensure that digital projects deliver real value to society.
