The Germany-wide survey of public authorities, the “Future Panel on the State and Public Administration”, provides valuable data and insights on the modernisation of public administration every year.
This year, the Future Panel addresses, amongst other things, the following key aspects relating to the coronavirus pandemic and provides answers to the following questions:
- Ranking of tasks for the state and public administration (across the board)
- Priorities for modernisation and digitalisation within their own administration
- Perspectives of senior civil servants on a potential Ministry of Digital Affairs/‘tasks’ for this potential new department
- Lessons learnt from the crisis
- Investment planning
- Use of ‘New Work’ and the mobile working environment.
The Future Panel is the only long-term study in Germany on the topic of “digital administration” that systematically covers all levels of administration. It dates back to 2002 – at that time under the name “Monitoring eGovernment”. The surveys consistently achieve high response rates – in some cases over 25 per cent.
