The indicators of the scope of use of ICT in enterprises will be aggregated by enterprises’ activities and
their size classes in terms of number of employees.
The general objectives of the Development Strategy for the Information Society will be achieved if:
the average EU values are achieved or exceeded in the indicators where Slovenia lags behind the
EU average,
the dynamic of growth is in line with that of the EU in indicators where Slovenia has reached or
exceeded the EU average,
specific objectives that Slovenia has set in individual fields of action are achieved, and Slovenia
ranks among the countries with medium or high effectiveness according to DESI by 2020.
7.2 Strategy Implementation Management
DIGITAL SLOVENIA 2020 – The development strategy for the information society until 2020 is an
umbrella strategy in the field of information society development determining the key strategic
development orientations and forming a uniform strategic development framework together with
incorporated strategies (Plan for the Development of Next Generation Networks to 2020 and the Cyber
Security Strategy). The strong horizontal impact of ICT and information society in virtually all areas of
social engagement requires a coordinated implementation of strategies, because it involves mutual
contextually related strategic policies, measures and projects that have been designed and will be
implemented in different areas with different specific features. Strategies will achieve their objectives
if they are implemented in accordance with the plan for their achievement, available resources and
broad inclusion of stakeholders in joint efforts for a faster development of the information society.
Uncoordinated implementation would threaten the achievement of strategic objectives and
undermine the strategies.
Since it is necessary to include as many external stakeholders, i.e. those that do not come from state
administration in a narrow sense, the management and implementation structure of the DIGITAL
SLOVENIA 2020 strategy will be based on the Slovenian Digital Coalition, which is a suitable multistakeholder environment by its primary purpose. The Strategic Council DSI2020 will be established: its
narrow structure will include representatives of institutions or the state or public administration, while
its broader structure will include representatives of the private sector, NGOs, and the general and
online public. The Strategic Council DSI2020 will lead, manage and coordinate the implementation of
the DIGITAL SLOVENIA 2020 strategy and incorporated strategies. Representatives of the Slovenian
internet Forum, Council for Electronic Communications, Broadcasting Council and others will be invited
to participate, too. Particular attention will be devoted to seeking synergistic effects of cooperation
with the private sector and NGOs.
The Strategic Council DSI2020 shall meet at least twice a year. Management and administrative
support shall be provided by the ministry competent for the information society. Before the end of
each year, the Strategic Council DSI2020 shall adopt a plan of key projects for the following year and
submit annual reports on the implementation of the DIGITAL SLOVENIA 2020 strategy to the
government by March.
An interim review of the progress achieved in implementation of the Strategy objectives shall be made
in 2018. In accordance with the findings, the ministry competent for the information society may
