Program Description:
This seminar is a World Bank response to the growing interest in
many client countries in strengthening e-government leadership
and improving ICT coordination within and across government
agencies by establishing an institution of the Chief Information
Officer at national, subnational and agency levels. The video-seminar
will review international experience in this area and focus on several
issues and country examples, such as US, Canada, Korea, Sri Lanka,
Russia, India, Armenia and Brazil. The issues to be discussed are the
CIO roles and competencies, national CIOs and CIO Councils, and
international comparisons.
The subtle balancing act among these roles, core competencies to
deliver on these roles, ways to develop these competencies/modes of
delivery etc as well as the important role of the CIO as the champion of
e-government outsourcing to the private sector will be addressed.
The fundamental differences between a traditional role of the
head of Information Systems Department and the revolutionary CIO
role and the resulting impact on efficiency, effectiveness and speed of
e-government implementation will also be highlighted.
The video-seminar will be conducted in English with a translation into
Russian. The event will be recorded and summarized and all materials
will be available shortly after the event on the eDevelopment Thematic
Group website.
