Public-sector Digital Transformation in a New Governance Context: a Conditional Maturity Framework

Open access
Nguyen Dang, Quang·2026·Journal of State Management

Abstract

This article examines public-sector digital transformation at the organizational level through the lens of capability dependencies. Drawing on an integrative conceptual synthesis of three streams of literature digital transformation and maturity models; platform architecture and interoperability; and data governance and artificial intelligence - the study proposes a seven-stage framework linked by four types of relationships: hard prerequisites, soft dependencies, parallel capabilities, and feedback loops. Six propositions specify the mechanisms and boundary conditions governing transitions between stages. The analytical framework does not assume a single linear temporal sequence; instead, it treats artificial intelligence as a conditional advanced capability and public value as the ultimate outcome criterion. The article discusses implications for government agencies and higher education institutions in Viet Nam and proposes directions for future empirical validation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
