The case for a digital government in Mexico
This chapter discusses the technological trends and the new policy scenario brought about by the 4th industrial revolution. Growing connectivity and new emerging technologies such as the Internet of Things, blockchain, cloud computing, data analytics and artificial intelligence enable new production and delivery models. These new business models allow for greater organisational performance, improved decision-making and services that better respond to user needs. The chapter analyses what these changes mean for the Mexican public sector, and why governments have put digital government at the core of public sector reform. The chapter advances a framework for understanding digital government and explains how it can help the government of Mexico achieve its policy objectives.
