Smart management can help address challenges

Our intention is to evaluate once a year how far the current government has come in implementing the Smart Government approach as smart management can help address challenges.

Modern technologies should provide citizens with the opportunity for a better life – emphasized the editor-in-chief of Lider, Miodrag Šajatović, opening the Lider conference Smart Government 2015, which is attended by Prime Minister Zoran Milanović and nine current ministers.

– Where there is a mess, there is no way around it. What you see today could have been achieved eight years ago, but it did not suit someone because where there is a mess, where there are computers, there is no mess, no connections – emphasized Prime Minister Zoran Milanović, adding that today we are an organized state that exports its solutions like fiscalization to other countries.

– Disruptions are disturbances of some inert rules that we thought would last forever, but the world is changing, Croatia is changing, and that is good. Today, there are few obstacles in starting a business, and our goal is for Croatia to be among the top 10 countries on the Doing Business ranking. I want Croatia to have a higher socio-economic immunity. According to the business climate index, we are currently first in Europe, and such innovations contribute to all of this – he said, referring to the video presentation of government projects in the field of digitalization.

– Unfortunately, such things will not attract the deserved attention because they are politically uninteresting during the campaign – said Milanović, not missing the opportunity to criticize the opposition with a couple of sharp comments.

The program continues with interesting lectures and round tables, and the goal of the conference is to provide a common platform for experts, representatives of the private, public, and civil sectors, as well as officials and government delegates to share their experiences and discuss relevant issues.
