- Value [1] Transparency
- All public sector organisations should be “transparent by default” and should provide the public with clear, regularly-updated
information on all aspects of their operations and decision-making processes. There should also be robust mechanisms for citizens
to highlight areas where they would like to see further transparency. When providing information, public sector organisations
should do so in open, standard and reusable formats (with, of course, full regard to privacy issues).
- Value [2] Participation
- Government should pro-actively seek citizen input in all its activities from user involvement in shaping services to public
participation in policy-making. This input should be public for other citizens to view and government should publicly respond
to it. The capacity to collaborate with citizens should become a core competence of government.
- Value [3] Empowerment
- Public institutions should seek to act as platforms for public value creation. In particular, government data and government
services should be made available in ways that others can easily build on. Public organisations should enable all citizens
to solve their problems for themselves by providing tools, skills and resources. They should also treat citizens as owners
of their own personal data and enable them to monitor and control how these data are shared.
