CIO Talks at Department of IT Management with Lars Frelle-Petersen

The future of digital service in the Danish public sector

CIO Talks with Lars Frelle-Petersen

The Danish vision is to create a more digital public sector that improves efficiency, frees up resources and modernizes service delivery. In the years to come the primary public service will be the digital service – and digitisation is no longer just a ‘nice to have’ add on.

By the end of 2015, as much as 80 per cent of written communication with public authorities will take place digitally and the next big steps will be the digital welfare. This transition to digital service is a major project of change that puts new demands on all of us. By demanding the Danish businesses and citizens to meet the authorities online, the public sector at the same time promises to deliver user-friendly solutions, high it-security and help for those who need it.  Meet Lars Frelle-Petersen who will share his experiences with the implementation of the ambitious visions.
