Abstract

Governments around the world are faced with new demands, new expectations and a fast-growing array of new technologies and tools. A current example is the Middle East, where a youth revolution built on the global technology revolution is demanding immediate reform. The challenges faced by governments increasingly span national borders and require resources and expertise to be mobilized on a scale that far exceeds those of governments.

To be efficient and effective in today’s complex, interlinked and fast-changing environment, governments need to redesign their structures and processes to capitalize on a new set of actors and tools. In this context, the Forum is pleased to present The Future of Government: Lessons Learned from around the World, a report elaborated by the World Economic Forum’s Global Agenda Council on the Future of Government. The Council consists of 15 of the most innovative experts and leading practitioners from some of the most advanced governments and international organizations.
