- The Global Information Technology Report 2012 - in pdf format (11,331kb)
- (This document requires the use of Adobe Acrobat Reader). Living in a Hyperconnected World. World Economic Forum and INSEAD, Insight Report - edited by Soumitra Dutta and Beñat Bilbao-Osorio, 2012. "The Global Information Technology Report 2012 is a special project within the framework of the World Economic Forum's Centre for Global Competitiveness and Performance and the Industry Partnership Programme for Information Technology and Telecommunications Industries. It is the result of a collaboration between the World Economic Forum and INSEAD... Over the past decade, the world has become increasingly hyperconnected. We live in an environment where the Internet and its associated services are accessible and immediate, where people and businesses can communicate with each other instantly, and where machines are equally interconnected with each other. This hyperconnectivity is deeply redefining relationships between individuals, consumers and enterprises, and citizens and governments; it is introducing new opportunities but also new challenges and risks in terms of individual rights and privacy, security, cybercrime, the flow of personal data, and access to information. As a result, our economies and societies will undergo fundamental transformations. Mastering and leveraging these transformations to maximize the positive impacts and increase resilience against the risks that ICT can bring to the economy, society, environment, and healthcare are crucial for boosting economic competitiveness and well-being. The present edition of The Global Information Technology Report (GITR) analyzes in detail the main drivers and impacts of this ICT-enabled hyperconnected world and contributes to the work of the World Economic Forum’s recently launched Hyperconnected World Initiative, which establishes a holistic means of understanding the systemic nature of change in a hyperconnected world...""

- Why Government IT Consolidation May Be Doomed
- by Andrea Di Maio. Gartner, March 9, 2012. "... The number of data centers that many governments run and their low level of utilization almost cry for consolidation: benefits are clear, ranging from greater security to lower costs, from lower energy consumption to easier maintenance, and more. We all know that there are a number of non-technology challenges, such as fear of losing headcount, budget, authority, but all this can be managed if there is sufficiently strong executive leadership. However, there is a different, subtler risk to consolidation, and some of the other initiatives that governments themselves have set in motion amplify such risk..."

- How smart computing can help government do more with less
- By: Ralph Chapman. IT in Canada, February 24, 2012. "... New private sector approaches to application and development management can help government departments develop and maintain complex application portfolios.

This community-based collaboration environment lets larger numbers of professionals exchange ideas and solve problems more quickly when supported by open-source frameworks that place a premium on intellectual capital, expertise, trust, efficiency and results to help increase productivity and capacity..."

- Filters kill innovation: ex-US CIO Kundra
- By Luke Hopewell, ZDNet Australia, February 14, 2012. "Ex-US government chief information officer (CIO) Vivek Kundra believes that internal internet filters, like the one currently in place within the Federal Government, can stifle innovation, limit productivity and often miss the root cause of internal security breaches. "I think the natural inclination is to focus on the dark side of technology, and I think that falls truest when people say 'do you want innovation or security? Well, if you want security, don't connect anything to the internet at all, don't use any technology and don't let in modern society.' It's the argument that a lot of people advance, and I think that this is a false choice; innovation and security should co-exist," he said..."

- Getting simple ICT shouldn't be complicated
- We love local government is a blog written by UK local government officers, 3 November 2011. "... As with all of our work, we need to trim much of our ICT functionality back to what we and its users need it to do. If we want a system to allow people to check their library books in online, let them do that and don’t then also expect them to use it to produce a graph showing the number of other people who had borrowed that book; if the system is there to deliver news updates to them then it shouldn’t also be trying to track whether or not they were sticking to their diet by counting their calories. If we keep in mind what we need ICT to do rather than getting sidetracked by all of the other things it could do, we can concentrate on making this work better than eer before. We have less time and money than ever: focussing both will result in far better systems..."

- Government IT Departments Can Either Embrace Choice or Perish
- by Andrea Di Maio. Gartner, October 5, 2011. "Through my analyst coverage of social media, cloud computing and – more recently – smart government, I am coming across a consistent number of cases where government IT departments are struggling to establish, affirm or defend their relevance to the rest of the business. This is not a new problem, and has often been considered as a symptom of insufficient alignment or service level to the business. However there seem to be quite a few cases where well-run, well-reputed IT departments are going through the same struggle..."

- 8 Current Technologies That Will Shape Our Future
- by Rick Chin. Mashable, 18 September 2011. "In 20 years our technology will reach a level of personalization that will enhance every moment of our lives. We'll be more physically comfortable with the furniture we sit on and the products we hold; only the most relevant and personalized information from friends and family will reach us; and our movement in the digital world will be near telepathic. I foresee several of today's technologies as relevant to this particular vision of the future. They will evolve to not only be more powerful, but also more integrated with one other..."

- The perils of a mobile-first IT strategy
- By John S. Monroe. Federal Computer Week, August 22, 2011. "Don't expect the mobile revolution to happen without a fight. According to industry visionaries, the traditional PC is bound to be supplanted by a combination of laptop computers, tablet PCs, smart phones and similar products. Indeed, those gadgets have already been making their way into the federal workplace, whether agencies like it or not. So far, it has been a grass-roots revolution..."

- Governments Must Become Smart to Survive, and Be Smart to Get There
- by Andrea Di Maio. Gartner, June 21, 2011. "... Being a 'smart government' implies using technology in an affordable and sustainable fashion. Affordability is key to make sure that smart, innovative solutions do not fall at the bottom of the priority list, when managing portfolios during tough times. In the past we have seen countless initiatives dubbed like “e-government” or “joined-up government” promising tangible improvements in government service delivery and operations, which went nowhere due to their cost, complexity, excessive time to benefit realization (if any). Some of those initiatives are probably still important, but need to be broken down into smaller chunks, each of which provides measurable value, and is capable of evolving toward increasingly complex but also sustainable systems..."
