Personal-data centric isn’t personal

Becky makes a good point: Transformational Government isn’t person-centric. It’s personal-data centric. There’s a big difference.

There’s nothing “personal” about the personalisation it advocates; it would be truer to describe it as “data-subject-specific”.

  1. Amen!  They make a big play of suggesting that Transformational Government will make everything revolve around the ‘customer’.  But no company I do business with is going to insist on interrogating me first or charging me 1000GBP if I forget to tell them of a change of address.

Ideal Government

Let's say what we want from e-enabled government. Let's observe government first-hand. Let's say "Wouldn't It Be Better If" (WIBBI). Become an ethnographer of bureaucracy today! It beats getting frustrated with public services.
