The provision of digital services is now a key policy enabler for most Governments globally, and for many, are the central transformation lever for entire national economic policy. This module will cover the rise of digital services, and trace their journey through public institutions. We will trace the cultural, technological and organisational routes they have taken, to explore why digital public services take their current form. The students will come out with a historic model of how we got to here, and why, and have a clear understanding of the threats, opportunities and challenges facing citizens and Governments the world over.
