Digitizing public services is, at the moment, an essential necessity for numerous governments around the world. An improved government through digitization will not only have a growing effect on businesses, but it will also be able to intensify citizen engagement and push for economic growth. During the last 10 years more countries have progressively begun to provide digital services to their citizens. Therefore, in order to address this development, the purpose of this paper is to analyze the evolution of the digital government literature in order to describe the aspects of digital transformation in the public sector and how it is related to knowledge management. In this study the methodology is quantitative and it is based on a review and a survey made with the main goal being the estimation from several collected data on how the digital transformation process in the Public Administration takes place and what its relationship is with knowledge management. The review study is based on articles found on Scopus database and it addresses the role that digital government research plays in the theory and practice of knowledge management. In the survey study, 54 employees working for the services of the two governmental areas of the Portuguese Ministry of the Environment were surveyed. The results show that the research on the theme is still at an exploratory stage due to the lack of studies relating digital government to knowledge management effectiveness in the public sector. The results also show that the success of digital government seems to be related with the quality of the organizations’ knowledge management, complementing each other for significant improvements in the public sector. In terms of originality, this study aims to contribute and stimulate data-driven discussions regarding the impacts of the digital transformation in the public sector and their relation with the implementation of knowledge management practices. The results offer insights into future research needs.

“…Mukuka et al [4] also noted that collaborative working is one aspect that can be applied in trying to improve project delivery in the ZCI. Further, BIM has been used by other countries such as the UK as a solution to providing a collaborative working environment on projects [10]. Thus, if the ZCI is to improve collaboration and consequently improve project delivery, it is imperative that BIM is adopted by the industry practitioners.…”

“…Introducing BIM will therefore help to overcome this challenge since it enables project parties to make and track all changes. This is important realising that during construction variations always occur and revisions have to be made and communicated quick enough [10]- [24].…”

“…On the other hand, Building Information Modelling (BIM) and its collaborative management capabilities have been identified as potential solutions to managing project information [8]. Collaboration through BIM has since been seen to solve construction challenges related the fragmentation of the construction industry in countries such as the UK, Finland and Norway as a way of meeting project objectives such as cost certainty and increased productivity [9], [10]. Therefore, in order for the Zambian government to achieve value on public works it should embrace the use of BIM on public construction projects realising that huge sums of money are spent annually on the provision of public infrastructure from limited resources.…”

This study was conducted in order to improve collaboration on public sector projects in the Zambian Construction Industry (ZCI) through the application of Building Information Modelling (BIM). In order to meet the research objectives, a questionnaire survey was used in collecting data and an exploratory research approach was adopted. Both quantitative and qualitative methods for data collection and analysis were also used. Worth noting as a limitation of this research is that only 64 questionnaires from the 111 that were distributed were received and this may not be representative of the ZCI. Further, only 2 provinces out the 10 in the country were considered for data collection. The findings revealed that the common collaboration challenges faced on public projects include delays in information exchange, poor project relationship and information management. This was mainly due to the huge reliance on 2D documents as a means of information exchange and the traditional procurement method. Hence, in order to eliminate collaboration challenges, the use of BIM is inevitable in the ZCI because it promotes efficient communication and coordination among project parties. This is important because construction projects involve the exchange of information among the many stakeholders involved. Therefore, if construction professionals are to attain their goals, this will require that new collaborative means are adopted, essentially adopting BIM in the ZCI and world over.
