description This article examines the role of leadership in adopting and implementing digital governance innovations within French local authorities based on a case study (2022-2024) of a shared open data project. Using the post-New Public Management (post-NPM) framework, the analysis highlights the importance of hybrid political and administrative leadership in overcoming organisational resistance and coordinating the players involved. However, the transition to fully post-NPM governance remains incomplete. The study, therefore, highlights the need to rethink organisational structures, resources, and cultures if these innovations are to have a lasting impact on local practices.
