A prescriptive framework for the formulation of E-GOV strategies taking into account international rankings

Abstract

The use of international rankings in the formulation of national E-GOV strategies is a reality in many countries. Considering that these indexes have limitations as recognized by the literature and by the Institutions that produce them, some systematization is necessary. To support the formulation of E-GOV strategies taking into account international rankings, a prescriptive framework is under construction using the Design Science Research (DSR) approach. The objectives of the solution have been set in a previous exploratory study, which concluded that the framework should be flexible, instructive, easy to use, comprehensive, co-participative, and effective. So far, previous versions of the framework have been used by two countries to formulate their E-GOV strategies. This workshop aims to evaluate its current version and to collect inputs to improve it through a new DSR process iteration.
