In a rapidly changing scenario, the PA must act on two levels: modifying internal processes, adapting them to the digital context and prioritizing and adopting IT services for its interlocutors. Such changes require new skills and must be based on a culture that relies on data enhancement, on quality goals, on continuous improvement, and on governance, within the framework of national and European digital strategies and policies. A few relevant topics (cybersecurity, blockchain and digital transformation) will be dealt with during theme-based days.
The Public Value Manager will be able to accompany the growth of the PA in a perspective of development of IT services, in line with the Digital Agenda for Europe and the AgID IT plans. The Manager will know the main enabling technologies of the digital society, cloud and big data, the modes to express requirements, and the methods to support the digital transformation, also in view of the unimpressive reports on the status of implementation of public IT technology plans.
