I can't speak for all departments but the one I worked for. There was huge mistrust between sections and other departments. If projects were joint and required working together it always stalled. I believe that public servants more broadly see reforms and technology as threats to jobs and tend to be hostile to these implementations. Culturally it's not a place that welcomes reforms, and likes business as usual. If you aren't a business and you have no incentive to be more productive and make profits. Why would you implement technologies that mean having to re-skill and more than likely bigger workload?
