Abstract

The rapid advancement of information and communication technologies is driving a swift transition towards digital transformation (DT) in public services globally. This paper investigates Brazil's approach to DT through its Startup Gov.br program, which employs startup principles to drive digital innovation within federal government agencies. Drawing upon interviews with key stakeholders and analysis of publicly available documents, the study reveals the program's characteristics and its integration into the current IT governance structure of the federal government. The results indicate that the program effectively addresses capacity constraints within government agencies, fostering strategic projects and long-term cultural change. By examining this novel approach, the paper contributes to the literature on startups in the public sector and offers insights into how governments can leverage innovative strategies for effective digital transformation.

利用基于初创企业的方法促进公共部门的数字化转型：巴西初创企业 gov.br 计划案例研究

信息和通信技术的飞速发展正在推动全球公共服务向数字化转型（DT）迅速过渡。本文研究了巴西通过 Startup Gov.br 计划实现数字化转型的方法，该计划采用初创企业原则推动联邦政府机构内的数字化创新。通过对主要利益相关者的访谈和对公开文件的分析，研究揭示了该计划的特点及其与联邦政府当前 IT 治理结构的整合。研究结果表明，该计划有效地解决了政府机构内部的能力限制问题，促进了战略项目和长期文化变革。通过研究这种新颖的方法，本文为有关公共部门初创企业的文献做出了贡献，并为政府如何利用创新战略实现有效的数字化转型提供了见解。
