Abstract

Complex policy problems seem to be increasing, such as pandemics, climate change, poverty and inequality, and financial and political instability. Such challenges require collaborative and intelligent policy and administrative responses. Innovations in digital technology, such as big data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI), are routinely advocated as providing solutions. However, technology itself cannot solve these complex problems and can make matters worse. Rather, thoughtful, and deliberative approaches to designing collaborative digital administrative systems are needed; ones that appreciate both the strengths and weaknesses of digital technology and recognize the ongoing importance of humans in socio-technical administrative practices. This plenary paper will begin by outlining the promise of collaborative digital governance and some of the key emerging technologies being used by governments. Then, by examining several successful and unsuccessful examples of digital government projects, the paper will articulate a series of lessons in the form of design principles and tensions to balance. It is hoped that these design principles will assist public administration leaders to build the administrative solutions that challenge governments to enable society to steer towards shared futures.
