I-MEET
The Integrated Model for Evaluating E-government services Transformation is a collaborative research project between Brunel University, the American University of Beirut and Qatar University to provide a strategic tool for monitoring, governing and transforming the provision of e-government services. It aims to create best-practice benchmarks to manage the transformation of state services in the digital age. Zahir Irani, head of Brunel Business School, said: "E-government across the globe has so far failed to take into account (the fact) that human resource factors have a strong impact on customer satisfaction. Services are provided without considering users and are often driven by the capability of technology. This old school of thought is being replaced by views being developed in the I-MEET project, which is integrating stakeholders' perspectives for a holistic evaluation." The award follows a £400,000 European Union grant to Professor Irani in 2010 to advance the development of mobile phone technologies to involve citizens in policymaking.
