3. In the last 15 years
ICT has changed
our way of doing things
our organisational behaviour
our way of thinking about
public services
The public sector is
experimenting continuous
changes

4. Public Sector needs to be as fast as the real world
We have to include in our everyday job practice
some new ideas and visions
These cannot be found only inside the PS
Same pattern of “Open Innovation paradigm”

5. We are actors of this scenario

6. Data is the key
Data is what we manage and move
from People - to our office - and back to people

8. But why do we have to Open our PSI richness ?
• Budget decreases
• Political legitimacy
decreases
• Complexity in pubblic
choice increases
• Technology changes
And i’m not talking about
Provincia autonoma di Trento
Direzione Generale
Subsidiarity
Partecipation
Culture of data
Open innovation
growth,
transparency
efficiency

9. Subsidiarity
The pubblic administration staff is
• getting older
• decreasing in number
• operating with a decreasing budget
So others , e.g.
SMEs,… organizations … citiziens …
can realize services
using our data in a way
that is faster and closer
to the people’s real needs

10. Employees Pat 2008 - 2012
Age employed PaT

11. Political
legitimacy is
decreasing
Participation is
needed
Participants need
information
Data is
information
Public Data must
be shared

12. Partecipation
Partecipation
Provincia autonoma di Trento
Direzione Generale

13. Complexity of public choice
Need a “daily
data culture”
Plans
Programms
Monitoring
OGD will increase the
quality of our work
The Knowledge society
Provincia autonoma di Trento
Direzione Generale

14. Technological change
Mobile portable tech
Internet of things
Smart environment
Pervasive computing
PSI can be re-used in this
macro trend of values
Provincia autonoma di Trento
Direzione Generale

15. Change is not an option
It is structural to our way of work
It is the way in which we act daily
Nowaday PS is no longer just the place of
control
But a mine of knowledge and opportunity
We create data and information for making
policies
but it can be used for other good purposes
Data + Data +…. + «Knowledge» becomes
«Knowledge society»
A new identity/role for the PS workers
 save, collect and open the
richness that is hidden in OGD
Provincia autonoma di Trento
Direzione Generale

16. But what happens in a real organization ?
Change is difficult
because you don’t
know what is going on,
what you have in front
of you
Change needs
knowledge that you
don’t have, new
competences
Provincia autonoma di Trento
Direzione Generale
Try and understand
the change “open at
least 1 dataset”
understand it in
practice
We are into a world of
knowledge - look for
knowledge outside
your office – think and
act Open Innovation
inside the PS sector –
re-use knowledge

17. So what if the organization
is worried about losing control ?
The case
Open Coesione (www.opencoesione.gov.it/) “our data” in a platform
create/ruled by another organization
We could loose control if we don’t partecipate !
The process already started and is ongoing, you cannot stop it!
Provincia autonoma di Trento
Direzione Generale

18. So what if the organization is earning value (money,
time, improvements) from public data ?
The case
In Catasto, they have found an alternative way to face data: ask
little money if you need update data with legal value - but every 6
months that data can be open to everyone for other purposes
Never enter into conflict but think of alternative scenarios

19. So what if If you decide to wait … let’s see … ?
The case
When we asked an organization to
open their data we realized that an
industrial big player had already
asked for their data, one year before
Public sector is already in a big
market. There is the risk to be
unaware of this
Public data has to be considerd as a
common good and public sector has
to have the governance and make
real choices

20. What is peculiar in Trentino Open data aproach
Open Data for smart growth:
data are enabling factor for innovation and growth
Find your own way to enter the new paradigm  we give the
platform and the knowledge, you find your way
A Complete data value chain from the data creation/production to
the creation of innovative services (on/with/for the data)
The Trentino as a laboratory means: PS questions are answered
by the Research and Innovation (R + I) partner and are becoming
services thanks to the SMEs involvement (triple helix model)

21. The Data Providers
A good variety !
In numbers
In topics
1,5year
875 dataset
(160 linked)
49 different organization
61 hours of courses
A huge local community
Connect with not local community

22. In little time we will face this situation, we will need
something that can help all of us to manage all this richness
beside our brains
