“surprisingly analogue government landscape”｜びっくりするぐらいアナログな政府は返上なるか？
I am already really stumped, and I think Japan only has a few more years or so of opportunity to digitize at a level commensurate with its GDP and current economic position in the world. Seriously.
I’ll be gentle and say 5-6 more years to go, but even if things start moving in the next 5 years, I think the deadline will have passed long ago…. So, if we want to get the maximum effect, I think we really have about 3 years left.
However, there are people, especially young bureaucrats, who have a real sense of urgency, and they are working on it. One of them is a “Digital Agency,” which is the subject of this article.
The article features an unavoidable contradiction between a country known for its large tech companies and a surprisingly analogue government landscape. How far can we go to turn it back and catch up? Estonia, Singapore, and the U.K. are the countries they are now actively trying to learn from.
もう本当にガチで、日本がそのGDPと今の世界における経済的な立場に見合うレベルでデジタル化を行えるチャンスは、あと数年ぐらいしかないと思います。マジで。
一応優しめに、あと5-6年ぐらい…と言っておきますけど、5年後にいろんなものが動き始めても、はっきり言って、締め切りはとうの昔に過ぎてると思います…。ですので、最大の効果を得ようとするならば、本当は残り3年ぐらいだと思います。
とはいえ、若手の官僚を中心に、本当にやばいという感覚を持っている人たちもちゃんといて、動いてはいます。その1つが、デジタルエージェンシー。この記事が フィーチャーしているもの。
「an unavoidable contradiction between a country known for its large tech companies and a surprisingly analogue government landscape」という、とても歪な国家の姿を返上し、遅れを取り戻すために、どこまでできるか？彼らがいま積極的に学ぼうとしているのが、エストニア、シンガポール 、そして英国です。
