SWOT Analysis for OpenGov.gr
	Helpful	Harmful
Internal	Strengths• Οpen calls for recruitment of public administration officials: Top level and mid-level openings in the public sector are available on the Internet. Applications are submitted on-line using a platform available on the opengov.gr website • Electronic deliberation: Almost every piece of draft legislation or policy initiative by the government is posted in a platform prior to their submission to parliament. Citizens and organisations comment and post suggestions. • Labs OpenGov: An open innovation initiative that brings together ideas and proposals of citizens, the public and the private sectors.	Weaknesses• Increases vulnerability to criticism • Cultural shift of the public administration • Apply only to people who are familiar with technology: can exclude some populations, like the elderly or lower class, from participating in the process, since they are not using social media networks (or using them to a lesser extent or for different purposes).
External	Opportunities• Promotes decentralised knowledge • Strengthening of society by a cautious opening of the state • Increases Transparency, participation, collaboration.	Threats• General distrust in public institution • Increases vulnerability to criticism • Cultural shift of the public administration • Apply only to people who are familiar with technology: can exclude some populations, like the elderly or lower class, from participating in the process, since they are not using social media networks (or using them to a lesser extent or for different purposes).
