Creating A Citizen Centric Digital Experience: How Far Have We Come?

This report is the culmination of some fairly extensive research, a survey of state CIOs, and interviews.  This was created as a NASCIO President’s Initiative for 2023. The report is anchored in a ground breaking report on digital government published by NASCIO in 2001. The 2023 report evaluates what progress has been made toward making digital government a reality across the states and territories since that initial report in 2001.

This report presents what we’ve learned, the drivers and challenges for delivering a digital citizen experience, recommendations for advancing digital capabilities and what state CIOs see as the future of digital state government.

We recommend the reader also view the report and video that were published in 2001. And, ask yourself, “what progress have we made since 2001?” We think you’ll agree with our assessment. We have made very good progress and now we have more aspirations that have changed a bit based on what has worked and what hasn’t worked.

Navigating the Metaverse: Potential Applications and Implications for State Government

Today, more than ever before, citizens are able to remotely access state government services. With an increasing emphasis on digital government services in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, states are providing more opportunities for citizens to conduct government business without standing in line or searching for parking. With the click of a mouse or tap on a smart phone we can renew our driver’s license, apply for benefits or request a birth certificate. While convenient, these activities lack human interaction and can become frustrating when you have a unique situation and can’t find an answer. But what if we could bring back the positive side of the human interaction that we have lost, but still do all of this from home or the office? Enter the metaverse in state government.

This publication from NASCIO highlights some use cases for how states are using metaverse adjacent technologies such as virtual and augmented reality and explores some potential uses cases applying the metaverse to state government. The publication also highlights steps that states should consider before applying the metaverse to state government.
