Governments around the world are faced with new demands, new expectations and a fast-growing array of new technologies and tools.The report provides a summary of the discussions that have taken place within the framework of the World Economic Forum activities on how the strategies, structures and practices of governments must change in the coming years, and how new networks and technologies can be leveraged to transform government capacity.The report emphasizes the importance of carefully planned workforce reductions coupled with the significant organizational, technological and workforce advances inherent in FAST governments to build slim and streamlined organizations that can thrive in the new world order.The report also explores the powerful but, in some cases, controversial concepts of open government and open data, giving examples of how governments are using the power of the Internet and the Web, including social media, to transform governance, empower citizens and rebuild the social contract between political leaders and citizens.The report shares experience on citizen engagement tools designed to incorporate the perspectives and ideas of citizens in decision-making and reflects on how networked relationships can be built between the public and private sectors to solve challenging problems that cannot be addressed by either sector working alone.
