Summary
Governments worldwide are evolving to better align with citizen needs and behaviors. Technology is playing a key role in this evolution, with AI-augmented government agencies paving the way for a digital-first government model.
This widespread digital adoption is enhancing public and social service processes, particularly the use of digital identifiers and authentication technologies in making citizen processes seamless and digital-first. Predictive analytics are also being leveraged to create simulations that pre-empt problems, helping governments better plan for their potential onset.
The implementation of behavioral science best practices is also increasingly common, with over 200 governments worldwide implementing ‘nudge' units to influence citizen behavior and encourage better citizenship.
Social impact consulting best practices are now largely aligned with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in order to deliver more effective and sustainable solutions for clients. Key practice areas include sustainability initiatives in response to the climate crisis, global education reform, and public health system transformation.
