Traditional roles of government and public administration need to adjust to emerging and future needs of societies. 

• Technology could bring innovation opportunities into the public sector, improve interaction between government and citizens through the simplification of procedures and contribute to open government. A redesign of political institutions and rethinking the government more broadly could make political institutions more interactive and efficient. 
• Open government policies could be further refined and clear strategies created. Accountability, transparency and fairness need to be central concepts of democratic governments.
• Tools such as foresight and speculative, participatory and service design can bring innovative approaches to government, while working with large number of stakeholders and citizens. 
• A new organisational architecture with less hierarchy and with an innovative way to co-design, including initiatives with citizens, could attract people with novel and creative solutions that would make public administrations more innovative and competitive in comparison to the private sector. 
• New skills for public administration could improve its effectiveness  and better preparedness for the future, but also boost creativity to identify new challenges and act with innovative approaches.
• Public administrations could consider the modernisation of recruitment processes to attract talent who can generate new-style policies.
