Simplification of procedures in the traditional senseSimplification of procedures as a strategy
It does not mainly focus on information and communication technology to provide the serviceIt mainly depends on information and communication technology (e-government) and all relevant applications to provide public services quickly and easily
The procedures within each organization are simplified individually without an integrated view with the other organizations linked to their activitiesIt coordinates and offers support at all levels of government between similar activities, to achieve excellence in providing services and associated operations
It does not treat the citizen as a customer whose needs must be addressedIt adopts the concept of the new public administration related to its overall view of the government, the integrated goals, coordination with all parties of the government, teamwork, and clearly stated procedures
The change is not done radically, rather by modifying the existing procedures and models, and reducing stepsIt is innovative, and seeks to radically change the processes, then the procedures associated with them, with a holistic view of all organizations
It does not adopt the idea of excellence, or provide added value at the organizational or governmental levelsFocuses on the priority of added value by providing high-quality services while reducing administrative burdens on beneficiaries by:
  • It supports all activities and functions within all organizations individually, and simplifies procedures holistically.

  • It reduces the operating cost by developing its methods based on information and communication technology.

It focuses on the procedure without a holistic view of business methods and service delivery toolsIt develops and improves all elements to the procedure, and links them to the concepts of total quality
It relies mainly on process flow charts to record the procedural process as basic tools for simplificationIt seeks to change the culture of the bureaucracy and the perception of their (inaccurate, please revise) role in providing public service
