Lessons Learned Slide 14
Lessons Learned (1) The definition of the public service, the objectives of the classification and attributes of the services (identification) should be clear to all institutions before the classification process Only 5% of public services were identified as redundant Only 7% of public services were considered to be provided by private companies ICT plays the key role in the optimisation of the service delivery 36% of the services were suitable for one-stop-shop, while 45% highlighted the good potential for e-services Slide 15
Lessons Learned (2) The best practices of the public service delivery, classification etc. should be identified early and key people should be included in the project team Social Insurance Agency, Riga city etc. Only initiatives with clear concept behind were successful, they are progressing quickly Public service law One-Stop-Shop Public Service Catalog (www.latvija.lv) Slide 16
Lessons Learned (3) The classification criteria should be defined with the clear objectives in mind and in line with the overall public service model It is not possible to define the importance of the service, however numeric information helps a lot (number of services provided etc.) The public service model should be in line with the overall maturity of the service delivery The average maturity was 1 2 (scale 0 5) Slide 17
