This project supports the efforts of the US General Services Administration’s Office of Citizen Services and Innovative Technologies (GSA OCSIT) to expand the knowledge base related to supporting citizen services. Focused on supporting GSA OSCIT’s new initiatives in citizen services and open government, this project will yield two deliverables: 1) a practical resource to assist GSA OCSIT in their efforts to build out the thinking and strategies to support citizen services, and 2) a full research proposal that lays out the research questions surrounding emerging technologies, open government, and citizen services.

The practical resource will be an Open Government Framework based on a value driven approach to thinking about and acting on the principles of open government: transparency, collaboration, and participation. The Framework will provide a bridge between the concepts of open government and the pressure to "just do it.” The framework will be a tool for government managers to use in implementing their open government directives; supporting them as they move from ideas to action. The framework is grounded in a focus on public value creation and provides a tool for agencies to place stakeholders and public value creation in the center of their efforts. It will categorize and describe the attributes, characteristics, enablers, barriers, and potential assessment criteria for each of the open government principles so that agencies can create a shared understanding of the stakeholders served by each strategy and the potential impact of each.

The full research proposal will set forth a plan to tackle the most challenging research questions and seek to develop new knowledge about open government.
