My book "Digital Government Excellence: Lessons from Effective Digital Leaders" is about to hit the stores in next weeks. 20 interviews with remarkable #digigov leaders from around the world. In time for summer reading! Pre-order & info: digigovexcellence.sikkut.dig… #digigovexcellence
Mom+Dad, I've made it - am quoted right next to almighty @brianeno in a book epigraph. Can't probably get any better than this. Thx for the honour, @rainerkattel @erkkikaro. Do check the book out if #publicsectorinnovation & #transformation is your thing: ucl.ac.uk/bartlett/public-pu…
Barbara Ubaldi - in more ways than one this book would not have been there without you! And appreciate your endorsement on the cover the more!
Btw - if you still do not have the book, you can get it from lnkd.in/d3dmN5wJ lnkd.in/dG-ygthX
As some side-news, I am thrilled to join the Creative Destruction Lab's newest CDL-Estonia community as a mentor. It is an awe-inspiring crew of who's who of Estonian VC and tech community in the mentor group, so am honestly humble…lnkd.in/deafWSpS lnkd.in/dzaXpYRW

We have long said that all countries will need to develop ways to serve people beyond their borders.
E-Residency is one model, and we welcome this (friendly!) competition from Ukraine!
As a reminder, we are also reimbursing e-Residency setup fees for Ukrainian citizens.
Ukraine's Deputy Minister for Digital Transformation & Eurointegration @valeriya_ionan inspired #TDS2022 explaining how Ukraine built a powerful digital state, adapted its capabilities in the fight for freedom, and continues to focus on digital development beyond their victory.

“We should start with the question of what Europe can do for #AI to win from it, not how to regulate it,” @ericschmidt @TallinnSummit #tds2022
Had a swell chance to chat on @TallinnSummit stage with @ericschmidt on where is #AI going, how we should embrace it - as societies & governments - incl. the need for united approach among likeminded democratic countries. Plus, is always good to meet a fellow @Princeton Tiger!

We are incredibly honoured to have hosted over 80 000 people at the e-Estonia Briefing Centre since 2009. Not only do we host presidents and heads of states but also CEOs, investors, media and university students who are keen to learn more about #eEstonia! – at Tallinn, Estonia

I love this quote from #Smart #Dubai Dr Aisha: ‘People in the ICT sector tend to forget sometimes that they are human at the end of the day, that we are not robots.’ READ: Digital Government Excellence by @sikkut @KlyngeC @MarquisCabrera @dananasrah @JeremyMGoldberg @LivNeal – at New Hampshire, USA

A must read:
Digital Government Excellence.
Lessons from effective digital leaders. By @sikkut #DigitalTransformation #GovTech
Tip: if you want a (free) cyber resilience/stress test of your digital government, remove some Soviet occupation statue. Worked for us twice already. (notice: irony intended)
