Al fine di conferire alle amministrazioni pubbliche italiane fisionomia conforme alla società odierna, il necessario punto di partenza è l’analisi del rapporto attuale che il Paese ha con le nuove tecnologie. La fotografia consegnata dai dati Istat permette di delineare le condizioni necessarie per esplodere il potenziale innovativo delle nuove tecnologie e dare vita a un nuovo rapporto tra pubblico e privato. La società attuale esige un profondo cambiamento delle istituzioni che segua l’evolversi delle relazioni e dei mezzi di comunicazione a sua disposizione. A tale scopo sono necessarie azioni finalizzate a cittadini, imprese e pubblica amministrazione. Creati i presupposti nella società, si possono tracciare le linee di un governo adatto alla società contemporanea: l’open government, che basa le sue fondamenta su trasparenza, apertura, partecipazione, collaborazione. Di quali strumenti deve dotarsi l’amministrazione pubblica per essere open? Le norme stesse delineano gli elementi necessari per quanto attiene ai sistemi, ai dati e ai servizi. Nella recente normativa italiana si delinea infatti il virtuoso “combinato disposto” costituito da cloud computing, riuso e open source e, nei rapporti con l’esterno, emerge il paradigma dell’apertura dei dati (open data) e dei servizi, creando relazioni improntate alla partecipazione e collaborazione degli utenti, fino al loro coinvolgimento nei processi decisionali per mezzo di strumenti di e-democracy. Gli effetti della costruzione dell’open government italiano sono stimabili in consistenti risparmi di denaro e tempo, maggior efficienza e qualità, recupero di credibilità e fiducia nelle istituzioni. Le nuove tecnologie sono in grado di sprigionare l’intelligenza collettiva e tradursi in servizi inediti e nuove soluzioni. L’effetto finale sta nel guadagno complessivo del sistema Paese: percorrere la strada maestra dell’open government significa adottare una strategia per la crescita dell’Italia.

Abstract

The analysis of the current relationship that the country has with new technologies is the starting point in order to lend to the Italian public authorities an appearance in compliance with today’s society. The picture delivered by Istat data sets the necessary conditions to show the innovative potential of new technologies and to create a new relationship between the public authorities and the private sector. Today’s society requires a profound change of the institutions, to follow the development of the relations and of communications medium at its disposal. For this purpose, it’s necessary to start actions aimed at citizens, businesses and public administration. Once created the conditions in society, it would be possible to draw the lines of a government suitable to contemporary society: an “open government”, based on transparency, openness, participation, collaboration. What tools should adopt the public administration to be open? The rules themselves outline the necessary elements as regards systems, data and services. In the recent Italian legislation arises the virtuous “combined provision” consisting of cloud computing, reutilization and open source, while the standard of the opening of data (open data) and services stands out in the relations with the outside world. This creates relationships based on the participation and collaboration of users, up to their involvement in decision-making processes by means of e-democracy tools. The effects of the construction of Italian open government are estimated at substantial savings in money and time, an improved efficiency and quality, the recovery of credibility and trust in institutions. The new technologies are able to unleash the collective intelligence and to arise in innovative services and new solutions. The final effect is the overall benefit for the whole Country: to walk the high road of open government means to adopt a strategy for the growth of Italy.
