“…Often, the view is expressed that there is a lack of flexibility behind outdated bureaucratic systems and procedures. Their existence is an inhibiting factor in promoting innovative reforms and assisting the development of technologically advanced approaches that lead to the successful digital transformation of the public sector (Al-Ruithe et al, 2018;El-Khatib & Al-Sadi, 2023).…”

The purpose of this paper is to examine the extent that the evolution of Greek public administration is important in the interest of society, the extent to which Greek society is able to assimilate and support the digital transformation, as well as the benefits and weaknesses of Public-Private Partnerships projects in the context of the effort of digital transformation of the Greek public sector. The survey was conducted through a questionnaire that involved 85 employees and through 11 interviews with executives working in senior positions. The results showed that the digital transformation of the Greek public sector brings social benefits, which increase the quality of public services. The Greek public sector has not yet completed its digital transformation, although remarkable efforts have been made in the last few years. The digital transformation will lead to the opening of new jobs and the existing civil servants have to be properly trained. According to the results of this research, the framework of PPP projects is characterized by several shortcomings and weaknesses, such as time delays and bureaucratic procedures. In Greece, compared to other European countries, double the contracting time of PPP projects is required, but both the public and private sectors benefit from these partnerships. The public sector acquires an alternative source of funding and expertise, and the private sector can develop its innovation and improve its extroverted character toward global markets.

The "Building Sustainability Index for Dubai Electricity and Water Authority" study aims to develop a comprehensive sustainability index specifically tailored for the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA). The index will serve as a tool to assess and measure the sustainability performance of DEWA's buildings, promoting a more sustainable approach to energy and water consumption. The study begins by conducting a thorough review of existing sustainability frameworks and indices to identify relevant indicators and best practices. By considering the unique context of DEWA, the index will be customized to align with the organization's goals, strategies, and operational practices. To develop the index, an interdisciplinary approach will be adopted, involving experts in the fields of sustainable building design, energy efficiency, water management, and environmental impact assessment. The index will encompass various dimensions of sustainability, including energy efficiency, water conservation, waste management, indoor environmental quality, and overall environmental impact. Key performance indicators will be established to quantify and evaluate the sustainability performance of DEWA's buildings. These indicators will be based on measurable data related to energy and water consumption, waste generation, and environmental emissions. The index will provide a systematic framework for tracking progress, identifying areas for improvement, and setting sustainability targets for DEWA's building portfolio. Furthermore, the study will address the importance of stakeholder engagement and create mechanisms for knowledge sharing and collaboration within DEWA. This will ensure that sustainability goals are integrated into the organization's culture and practices, fostering a sense of ownership and responsibility among employees. The outcomes of this study will be valuable for DEWA in optimizing energy and water consumption, reducing environmental impact, and enhancing the overall sustainability of its buildings. The index will also contribute to the broader sustainability goals of Dubai, aligning with the city's vision of becoming a global leader in sustainable development. Overall, the "Building Sustainability Index for Dubai Electricity and Water Authority" study presents a significant opportunity for DEWA to embrace sustainability as a core principle, driving positive change in the organization's operations and contributing to a more sustainable future for Dubai.
