Proactive Disclosure Breeds Efficient Government: How Access by Design Works for All
Annual Right to Know Luncheon sponsored by the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario and IPAC Toronto Region
Dominion Club, 1 King Street West, Toronto

Improving information management practices by reducing reliance on inefficient "reactive" disclosure is an effective measure for public institutions seeking to balance the rising demand for government services with the need for cost reduction measures.

When access is embedded into the design of public programs from the outset - known as Access by Design - the benefits are twofold: the public can access useful information more freely; and government institutions can save significant resources by making their information available on a routine basis - by default.

Come and learn:
  • How Access by Design works: The 7 Fundamental Principles of Access by Design
  • What steps can be taken at provincial and local government levels to address the issues of reactive disclosure and enhance information management practices
  • Specific examples from public institutions that have improved efficiency by embracing proactive disclosure initiatives
