The Digital Transformation of Norway's Public Sector
While Norway is a leader in digital government amongst OECD countries − ranking 4th overall in the 2023 OECD Digital Government Index − there is scope to improve the efficiency, efficacy, and innovation of Norway’s public sector through digitalisation. This report reviews Norway's digitalisation efforts since its 2017 OECD Digital Government Review and provides recommendations to help the government develop a new strategy for digital transformation. It looks at eight areas ranging from digital governance and digital government investments to artificial intelligence, digital talent and service design and delivery.
GovTech
While Norway’s StartOff program offered a strong approach to GovTech by balancing risk mitigation with innovative procurement, the program has since been discontinued. Norway could aim to reintegrate GovTech into its public sector to support the development of innovative solutions to public sector challenges, particularly in line with key focus areas like AI and the ‘twin transition’ of green and digital transformations.
