With the dashboard, the German government is introducing a long-term strategic monitoring scheme for the first time in a policy field, providing for the quantitative monitoring of progress on the digitalisation implementation strategy.  

In autumn 2018 the Cabinet committee met to consider the implementation strategy for shaping digitalisation. In March this year the strategy was updated for the first time. This third meeting focused on updating the development steps and presenting the new digital policy dashboard.

Ongoing optimisation mode

With the ministries, the Federal Chancellery has identified indicators for the implementation status of the digitalisation projects. On the basis of these data, the dashboard was drawn up. At a glance, it presents the progress made on digitalisation measures in graphic form. The aim is to provide information for individuals. Another advantage is that the German government now knows much more specifically in which areas it must be swifter and better.

The implementation strategy with the constantly updated dashboard can be called up very soon at www.digital-made-in.de.

Benefits for the individual

The implementation strategy gears digitalisation projects ever more closely to the benefits they are to generate for individuals, i.e. for the people of Germany, companies and associations. The fields of action – digital skills, infrastructure and equipment, innovation and digital transformation, society in digital transition and the modern state – together cover over 120 key projects of the government’s digital policy.
