Abstract
Digital Government (DG) benchmarking is an academically vivid topic and, equally important, a tool with the potential to provide valuable insights to policymakers and public managers responsible for digital policies at the level of countries and international bodies. Alas, this potential remains largely untapped in the current DG benchmarking practice. In our study, we identify the reasons and propose a way of mitigating them. By referring to the managerial roots of benchmarking – to identify a unit’s problems and help it find a way toward performance improvements, we postulate to: 1) extract information coming from various measurement projects, 2) apply a process perspective to DG measurement – DG follows a series of value-generating transitions comprising a value chain, and 3) map the results to particular managerial or policy problems. We argue that the outcome, a comprehensive framework for country-level DG benchmarking built upon existing DG measurement instruments, offers a much higher diagnostic value than if such instruments are applied individually.
