Abstract
In Denmark, it is a legal requirement that technologies used by public authorities support compliance with the relevant legal requirements for the public sector´s activities (administrative law by design). However, this relatively obvious requirement has proven difficult to realize, despite the supplementary requirement of the presence of legal competences in all significant phases of a digitalization process. Therefore, the university of Southern Denmark and the University of Copenhagen joined forces in a research project: From Legal Clerk to Compliance Advisor. Here the structure of collaboration and the communication models used was studied. A more flexible collaboration model between digitalization professionals and legal professionals has been proposed. Further, an adjusted communication model for legal professionals, adapted to digitalization projects, has been developed. The presentation will present both the developed model, as well as diving into some of the examples of projects gone wrong, particularly in the Danish social security sector.
