| Summary: | This report provides an overview of the
role of emerging technologies in digital transformation and
the global best practices in policy responses to the
disruptions they cause across a broad spectrum of economic
activity. It analyzes the successes and challenges of
digital transformationin Russia and attempts to develop key
recommendations to help policy makers accelerate the pace of
digital transformation across the main sectors of the
Russian economy. In its current version, the report starts
with discussing the results of the Russia DECA and offers an
analysis of international best practice in formulating
policy approaches to stimulate digital adoption while easing
the disruption caused by the rapid emergence of new
technologies. The objective is to help policy makers think
through ways to harness the opportunities created by
emerging technologies to enable Russia to accelerate the
pace of digital transformation. The report then discusses
the emergence of digital platforms as key enablers of
digital transformation and proceeds to explore sectoral
dynamics in the key digital transformation areas outlined in
the Russia Digital Economy Program, including digital
government, digital business, as well as digital innovation
and skills building. Sector-oriented chapters follow a
similar structure by analyzing international best practice
in the transformation of a sector, offering an assessment of
the current state of transformation of that sector in Russia
and concluding with proposing a set of recommendations that
may help accelerate the digital transformation of the sector
in light of international best practice and the local
experience. Due to the rapid pace of technological change
and space limitations, this report does not pretend to offer
in-depth analysis of Russian digital transformation at the
sectoral level but is rather an attempt to analyze global
best practice to inform Russian policy making and an
invitation to the policy-maker and expert community to
continue the digital co-creation experience started two
years ago in the hope that it is an effective way to share
the just-in-time global expertise of the World Bank whenever
and wherever it is needed most in order to help accelerate
Russia’s digital transformation process. |
