Keywords:
Agile Public Administration, Adaptation, Digital TransformationAbstract
Rapid changes in technology, society, and the economy have significantly impacted public administration worldwide, compelling government agencies to respond more swiftly and effectively to citizens’ needs. Agile Public Administration has been proposed as a key approach to restructuring organizational processes and workflows to be more flexible, compact, and value driven. This article aimed to explore the core elements and practical implementations of Agile in the public sector, with emphasis on organizational structures, cross-functional teams, fail-fast cultures, and the adaptation of legal frameworks and performance indicators. The findings suggested that leadership support, inter-agency collaboration, and ongoing technological innovation were critical factors in fostering a sustainable Agile transition in government. By incorporating these elements, public agencies can better deliver timely and high-quality services, ultimately enhancing public value.
