Aquitaine: A strategic approach to respond to the globalization challenge

1 A regional strategy for tackling eInclusion?

Strategy

• an elaborate and systematic plan of actionwordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn

• a long term plan of action designed to achieve a particular goal, most often "winning". Strategy is differentiated from tactics or immediate actions with resources at hand by its nature of being extensively premeditated, and often practically rehearsed. ...en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategy

2 A first set of certainties

• 1/3 of the population not using the internet

• This is not acceptable, neither socially, nor economically

• The potential negative effects are not going to vanish

• Multiple and overlapping causes for e-exclusion

• Double blow against the European model

3 A second set of certainties

PPP, for sure, but that won‘t be enough!

PA‘s, who‘s in charge ?(the subsidiarity issue)

6

Second conclusion: Regions are a logical, privileged level to deliver sustainable eInclusion

4 Regions in the driver’s seat on eInclusion

• For addressing the 6 Riga topics

• For hard wiring eInclusion in their mainstream development

policies (SF, ERDF, …)

• For sowing seeds of eInclusion innovative products and practises

that reach their intended public

• Having said that…

5 The main (bag of) issues

Uncertain, fickle financial and economical floods

Changing and intimidating lingo

Competing priorities

6 The (need for an) appropriate compass

An Information and Decision Support System (IDSS)

Why and what?

• Assessing and driving action on the territory• Observation and description tools, turning factual data

and/or statistics into decision making facilitators

And the ability to: Identifying warnings/alertsFollowing trendsZooming in on specific situations

For whom?
