What is the transformation of public administration?

The public administration of the future is a constantly learning service network geared to the needs of society. It is shaped by a transformation process that takes a holistic view on people, processes, and technologies.

Objectives of the transformation of public administration

The transformation of public administration places people at the center and thus anticipates the big questions of the future. It is supported by a number of stakeholders who bring in their diverse perspectives and combine them in a collaborative process to create a common agenda.

Concrete services and fields of action of the transformation of public administration

The digital transformation creates impulses, initiates collaboration and develops solutions for the public administration of the future. The comprehensive range of services offered by the Federal Ministry of the Interior and Community (BMI) is divided into the main areas of interministerial cooperation and networking formats, digital ready legislation, human resources, as well as standards and guidelines for project and process management.

• Interministerial cooperation and networking formats
  
  This includes agile support for interministerial and crossthematic projects through the collaboration platform of the federal government GovLabDE, which provides methodological expertise and suitable human resources. GovLabDE aims to support administrative staff in the application of project and methodological skills beyond specific projects.
  
  This area also includes the activities of the GovTech Campus in Berlin, as well as the formats of the NExT network, a non-profit association of public service employees working together for the digital transformation of public administration. In addition, the fellowship programs of DigitalService GmbH promote the exchange of knowledge and methodological expertise in the federal administration.

• Digital ready legislation
  
  Digitalcheck encourages legislators in actively addressing the possible digital implementation of new regulations during the legislative process at an early stage. The Digitalcheck provides policy drafting staff in the federal ministries with suitable processes, methods and skills to draft laws that can be executed digitally.

• Human Resources
  
  The interministerial working group "Staff in Digital Administration" (AG PersDiV) consists of human resources experts from the highest federal authorities and develops strategic recommendations for staff recruitment and development.

• Standards and guidelines for project and process management
  
  Together with the Competence Centers for Process Management and (Major) Project Management at the Federal Office of Administration (BVA), methods, guidelines and tools are provided to support public administration employees inmanaging and implementing projects and processes. The standards, which are tailored to the needs of the public administration, are tested and made widely available throughout various formats.

How stakeholders work together

The numerous stakeholders in the BMI's area of responsibility maintain close collaboration through knowledge transfer and cooperation. In regular cooperation meetings knowledge is exchanged and synergies are unlocked.
