Information Management to Support Evidence-Based Governance in the Electronic Age

As Andrew Lipchak, author of the Public Policy Forum case study Information Management to Support Evidence-Based Governance in the Electronic Age, sees it, technology is changing the nature of governance. As the potential for greater citizen engagement increases thanks to an evolution in government information systems, Lipchak believes it will be necessary to develop effective strategies, tools, and techniques to manage the new relationship. Accordingly, the purpose of this case study is to promote this growing link between citizens and governance while identifying key issues to improve government information management and record-keeping programs.
