Delivering Legal Functions in Government Agencies: People, Processes, Technologies
Congress Centre, conference hall D3
Government bodies are traditionally a key component in building a state governed by the rule of law, in which the rights and freedoms of man and citizen are guaranteed. Given the current challenges around the world, the legal functions of government bodies cannot be ensured without an integrated approach that combines the development of human capital, the introduction of modern management processes, and the active use of innovative technologies. The spiritual and moral values, expertise, and professionalism of civil servants determine the quality of public administration and the level of public trust in government institutions. Investments in the education, training, and advanced training of personnel are becoming a priority to ensure the sustainable development of government structures. Globalization, digitalization, and the ever-increasing complexity of socioeconomic processes require government bodies to constantly update their approaches to management and decision-making. Modern processes, such as the introduction of project management as well as lean and agile methodologies, the use of a risk-oriented approach, and the creation of cross-functional teams, help increase the efficiency and transparency of government bodies. It is also essential to ensure that these processes comply with legal norms and principles. The use of artificial intelligence, blockchain, big data, and electronic platforms can significantly improve the quality of public services, reduce corruption risks, and ensure the accessibility and transparency of government decisions. However, the introduction of innovative technologies also requires the development of an appropriate legal framework to regulate their use and protect the rights of citizens.
