Institute for eGovernment

Is e-government the next "new and greatest" government solution? Or will it get bogged down in the quagmire of bureaucracy? This is one of the topics to be tackled at the forthcoming First Tuesday Thought Leaders event, focusing on e-government, to be held at the Sandton Convention Centre on Tuesday, 1 July. Says Mike Wright, First Tuesday Executive: "The Web has enabled us to 'dot-com' ourselves both on personal and business levels - why is this not happening in the same way within government?"

The event will look at e-government in general and how the digital economy is encouraging governments to transform themselves into nimble, effective and responsive service providers.

The event will kick off with an interactive workshop from 17h00 until 18h00, which is a think tank/brainstorming session where key trends, challenges and possible solutions will be explored. This will be followed by a keynote address, delivered by Mojalefa Moseki. A former journalist, Moseki is a co-founder and member of the government's e-government policy, the chairperson of GITO Workgroup, and currently group CIO of SITA and the head of Communication e-Gatway.
