Descripción:
The aim of this report is to document the state-of-practice in building human capacity for Government Chief Information Officer (GCIO) positions.As an introduction, the report presents the profile of a GCIO, based on documented responsibilities assigned to such positions. The profile enables identifying the competencies - knowledge, skills and abilities - required to successfully perform the Information Technology (IT) leadership role in government organizations. Based on this profile, the report explains the methodology applied to carry out research into GCIO-related education programs. The methodology follows a theoretical framework which puts forward six dimensions for analyzing GCIO-related education programs: 1) What - what competencies are developed by a program, 2) Who - for whom is a program designed, 3) Why - why is a program relevant to this group of students, 4) How - how are competencies developed by a program, 5) Where - where is a program carried out, and 6) When - when should a program be delivered concerning the preparation of students.The methodology was applied to survey 78 educational programs from well-known universities around the world to determine which programs build some competencies required for GCIO positions. The reviewed programs comprise eight groups: 1) Chief Information Officer - CIO, 2) Electronic Government - EGOV, 3) ICT for Development - ICT4D, 4) Technology Management - TM, 5) Leadership - LEAD, 6) Sustainable Development - SD, 7) Development - DEV, and 8) Public Administration - PA. Each group of programs is documented following the same theoretical framework, and analyzed to determine a typical program instance in this group. Finally, a comparison among program groups is discussed.
