About this episode
Professor Johan Magnusson discusses the challenges and opportunities of digital transformation in the public sector, emphasizing the importance of data sovereignty and agile development.
Guest: Johan Magnusson Language: Swedish Duration: 33:28 min Professor Johan Magnusson joins us to discuss digitalization in the public sector. He says that the public sector digitalisation is improving, but progress is still too slow and often stuck in outdated structures. Many organisations continue to invest in large system procurements rather than building internal capabilities and flexible digital infrastructure. At the same time, AI has dramatically lowered the cost of automation, creating major opportunities to streamline operations and free up resources. The shift from traditional digital projects to fast, iterative development, and why "fake digitalisation" remains a key issue. He highlights the importance of data sovereignty, open source, and taking back control over digital infrastructure. The conversation also explores how European countries are responding to geopolitical changes and why digital capability is now a strategic necessity for resilience and future competitiveness.
