Martin Bobek, one of the co-founders of Devcity, was invited for an interview with CNN Prima NEWS, where he commented on the current state of digitalization in the building permit process in the Czech Republic.
In his remarks, Martin reflected on the current problems and challenges facing the project and shared his perspective on possible solutions. He pointed out that the digitalization project is facing issues mainly due to poor management. "The project developers must have known they were falling behind, but a timely solution was lacking," he mentioned in the interview. According to him, action was needed as soon as the first problems became apparent to keep the project on track.
One of the key benefits of digitalization would be the ability to track each step of the building permit process online, providing both applicants and officials with a better overview of the application's progress. This step would help increase trust in public administration and simplify work for all parties involved. He emphasized that successful implementation of digitalization requires strong leadership and coordination between institutions. Without clearly defined goals and well-organized management, the project risks falling behind and failing to reach its full potential.
Both founders, Tomáš Těthal and Martin Bobek, also commented on the topic of digitalized public service tools for Czech citizens on TV Nova's main news broadcast on October 3rd. In this segment, they focused on the expansion of digital tools designed to make communication with state institutions easier for citizens and the importance of these innovations for improving the efficiency of public administration.
At Devcity, we have long been dedicated to process digitalization, and we believe that this approach is key to modernizing not just the building permit process, but the entire public administration system. Martin Bobek's and Tomáš Těthal participation in this important discussion is a confirmation of our efforts to contribute to better and more efficient public services.
