Going Digital: Shaping Policies, Improving Lives
Digital technologies and data are transformational. People, firms and governments
live, interact, work and produce differently than in the past, and these changes are
accelerating rapidly. How can we realise the immense promises of digital technologies
and data for growth and well-being in a fast evolving world? This report charts the
road ahead. It identifies seven policy dimensions that allow governments – together
with citizens, firms and stakeholders – to shape digital transformation to improve
lives. It also highlights key opportunities, challenges and policies related to each
dimension, offers new insights, evidence and analysis, and provides recommendations
for better policies in the digital age.
