Abstract

The document resolves two exercises that are linked.
Assignment 1 centers on the concept of "smart services" and their interaction with citizens in the context of government. The goal is for individuals to describe their technological vision of how governments will interact with citizens in the future. They are expected to consider the impact of technology on information dissemination, communication with city administration, and feedback mechanisms. Participants are encouraged to use specific techniques for envisioning the future, such as roadmapping, visioning, or scenarios. The expected outcome is a concise description of this vision within a specific timeframe.

Assignment 2 builds upon the smart service vision from Assignment 1 by focusing on the business model. Individuals are asked to consider how the public administration can work with others to implement their smart service ideas and how it can be financed sustainably. The suggested resolution includes using the business model canvas to outline the core value proposition for citizens, key partners, cost structures, and revenue models. The goal is to create a clear and sustainable funding plan for the smart service, considering the financial dimension of innovation. The expected outcome is a completed business model canvas in connection with the smart service vision outlined in Assignment 1.
