Design of a strategy for the development of institutional capacities in the training of ICT leaders in the government of Colombia

Published: 27 October 2014 Publication History

Abstract

The government of Colombia is implementing the function of the Government Chief Information Officer - GCIO-. This document seeks to present a strategy design for the development of institutional capacities in the training of GCIOs to support the implementation of this function. The strategy is led by a group of academics resulting from University-Government collaboration and goes beyond the creation of a curriculum to seek systemic and institutional sustainability of the function. Therefore, the strategy has three axes-components. The document summarizes the strategy, designed from on a methodology that involved the review of literature and existing training models, interaction with national and international experts and academics, the co-construction with officials in the area of ICT's at various levels of government and the participation of those responsible for public policy for the sector.

As envisioned by Benington & Moore (2011), public value involves social and political values that are not adequately interpreted by private business management, the role of the public sector involves treating a set of stakeholders wider than that of the business sector (shareholder), seeking fairness and justice.
