2nd International cc:eGov Workshop - Organisational change for citizen-centric eGovernment - Designing efficient and effective e-public services: developing a systematic understanding of citizen-consumers and their needs

The 2nd citizen-centricity eGov Workshop (cc:eGov) to take place in Athens on 20-21 February is the second in a series of four events that are aimed at serving as key drivers to the cc:eGov study project. The cc:eGov study was launched in June 2006 by the European Commission’s eGovernment Unit in DG Information Society and Media in order to better understand the organisational culture and citizen centricity in the EU and subsequently produce concrete conclusions and tools for policy makers and practitioners.
 
The 2nd cc:eGov Workshop will address the challenge of designing efficient and effective public interest services through systematic understanding of the citizen-consumers: 

• Who and where they are;
• What they need and want;
• In the light of this, how service relationships might be constructed.

The Athens workshop will be highly participative with attendees bringing their own cases to be explored by the group and experts: speakers, cases, tools and typologies, peer learning. More information available at: ttp://www.ccegov.eu/?Page=Workshops
