Definition: Digital-ready Policymaking ABB is a Business Process consisting in formulating digital-ready policies and legislation by considering digital aspects from the start of the policy cycle to ensure that they are ready for the digital age, future-proof and interoperable.

The key features of a performance-based full policy cycle are a clear articulation of policy objectives, the identification and use of quantitative indicators of expected short-term and longer-term policy impacts, the identification of synergies between policies, a much greater use of quantitative data in ex-ante impact assessments, the implementation of robust, data-based, independent ex post assessments of the performance of policies relative to their expected impacts and a wide dissemination of lessons learned in such ex-post performance assessments Interoperability Saliency: The Public Policy Cycle ABB is salient for the governance interoperability because it impacts on the design and formulation of public policies, which are implemented through legal acts. Also, the ABB also is salient for the legal interoperability due to it establis the legal actions and directives for public administration services as the case of interoperability principles need to be taken into account during the whole public policy cycle. Additional information: Policies (and legislative acts) are digital-ready if they enable smooth and digital by default policy implementation and foster digital transformation through best use of digital technologies and data. This implies that policymakers work in a multidisciplinary team and consider the following digital-ready components: 1. user-centric processes ready for automation, 2. alignment with digital policies (for example on accessibility, eID...), 3. the once-only principle and the reuse of data, 4. the evolving ICT landscape, 5. innovation and digital technologies, and 6. digital-ready drafting.
