E-Gov Strategies to Reduce Government Costs
Turning basic jobs of government over to web based solutions when possible and where applicable is a good strategy to reduce costs. By implementing a hiring freeze in many areas of government and using attrition methodology to cut down the incredible payroll costs of the government, we can begin to slow the ever increasing "Blob" or "Bureaucratic Goo" clogging the nation, wasting tax payers dollars and costing our citizenry in promised benefits for their participation in the system, for which they receive so little.
E-Gov has gotten a bad rap from the media, GAO and pundits of the old slow wasteful bureaucracy of which many seem to have a vested interest in, probably since they created it. If you look at the current trend with let's say Wal*Marts online strategy you see a trend, this year it is up some 115% over last year. Wal*Mart of course being the only business in the world, which has more employees than the Federal Government and because of it's size shows that things take time. Wal*Mart is number two second only to Amazon.com in online sales as of this date. They will pass Amazon.com in approximately 13.3 months. So how did they do it? They did it thru strong adherence to their strategic plan and good promotion. E-Gov needs a PR Consultant Big time.

We must reduce the time it takes to get things done, filed and the wasteful time to the citizen and business for approvals, permits and receiving of vital and important information. The Internet is completely set up for this. It is made for efficiency. Government on the other hand is inherently inefficient, this is not good or bad, but it is a reality. By increasing the ability of citizens and businesses to interact with our government the entire system gains efficiency and when this can be duplicated in all agencies and departments, the economies to scale and the productivity, which will be achieved and the compounding effect will be a whirlwind and breath of fresh air.
With the digital divide now being all but completely conquered under the Leadership of the Bush Administration we have a unique opportunity to take the E-Gov plan to the step. Such a system saves time and helps the citizen know what they are paying for and it's purpose. It saves trees and paper and its all good. I propose hiring Peggy Noonan to put together a team to:
A.) PR the ever living crap out of E-Gov in all Media
B.) Put together a bombardment plan to keep this topic hot.
C.) Promote this new ability in the schools and Colleges
D.) Review all the government websites, survey users, recommendations.
E.) Start today.
