Learning Activity 4

Evidence world leaders

For this evidence, you will need to prepare the materials for doing a presentation about the
world leader you most admire. You will need to carry out exhaustive research on the main
aspects of your leader’s life.

These are the main aspects you have to take into account:

1. You need to do the evidence in a presentation.

2. You need to structure your presentation bearing in mind the vocabulary related to
leadership and responsibility and use it consistently during your materials.

3. You need to give enough evidence supporting the selection of your most admired
world leader.

4. You need to present numerical and/or statistical data that represents aspects of your
leader’s career or achievements you would like to highlight. At least one graph must
be included and explained.

5. You need to use APA style consistently throughout the materials.

6. You need to include a complete list of references at the end of your presentation.

What is the CIO?

The CIO (Chief Information Officer) are the leaders of the strategic
management of Information Technology, in charge of planning,
organizing, coordinating, managing, and controlling the strategy of use
and appropriation of IT, and everything that this task entails.

Let's start by defining what the CIO means as a leader in information technology

Training model for ICT leaders of the Public Sector in Colombia

Now we will continue with a brief description of the CIO training model that works for the
public sector.

Training model for ICT leaders of the Public Sector in Colombia

The training of the CIO of the public sector in Colombia is based on competencies (TBC) that is
composed of three elements:

 The Knowledge
 The abilities
 The attitudes
This trilogy supports a person's ability to solve a problem in a specific context.
TBC is supported for its successful functioning by problem-based learning (PBL) and project-
based learning (PrBL). These two learnings are developed as didactic strategies

Public value
Moore (1998) postulates that public organizations aim to create “public
value” - solve problems, satisfy needs and enable the exercise of rights
through the provision of goods, services, transactions, legislation and
regulations.
Here we call “public value” the benefit recognized by the genuine
recipients from the results and emerging effects of the benefits received
from public organizations. It is an eminently subjective value,
associated with the perception and recognition, by the recipient, of the
coverage of a need or the solution of a relevant problem for him, based
on certain benefits received.

Now we continue to clarify Moore's concept of “public value” that allows us to foresee that
the public CIO synthesizes an example of value dissipation in our informational policies and
strategies.

Role of the National CIO in Colombia.

The central role of the National CIO in Colombia is to lead the transformation that
the State requires so that Information Technologies (IT) generate public value. The
exercise of this role implies:

a) Define policies, guidelines, and standards for public entities to adopt them,
b) train, accompany, advise, and provide mentoring to public technology
leaders,
c) create mechanisms to evaluate and monitor progress, and
d) Determine what is the impact of the transformative guidelines; for
example, to what extent modern technologies are being adopted in public
management, to what extent the opportunities of “the cloud” are being
exploited, among other transformations.

Now we will highlight some roles of the public sector CIO in Colombia:

unities of “the cloud” are being exploited, among other
transformations.

CHALLENGES OF THE CIO

First, we face a great challenge that is also a global problem: the possibility of
having IT Talent to drive the great transformations that we must translate.

Another great challenge is to achieve the interoperability of information systems,

which allows entities to share information and enable services so that the State
functions as a single organization for the citizen.

The third challenge lies in developing the capacity to generate open data in all
institutions, which means breaking with the paradigm that entities and their
officials are the "owners" of the information they have.

Here are some of the major challenges facing a public sector CIO.

The CIO's participation in the Colombian innovation system

Now we will see this statistic of how the CIO's participation in the Colombian innovation
system is compared to other countries

Colombia’s innovation system is still modest and lacks a strong business core. Research and
development (R&D) expenditure is low at 0.2% of GDP, compared to 2.4% in the OECD. Only
30% of total R&D is performed by the business sector, compared with 70% on average for OECD
countries. Colombian firms engage little in innovation and only a small portion of firms introduce
new products.

Conclusions
The CIO (Chief Information Officer) or technology director is the position of
maximum responsibility in all the technological processes of an entity. At present, it
is gaining enough strength to the point of being considered a determining agent for
achieving business success.

The functions of a CIO are focused on the implementation of strategies that will
gradually introduce innovative technology solutions to state organizations. The
objective of these solutions is to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the
internal and external processes carried out by the entity. But the CIO is also
responsible for planning security protocols that shield your organization from a cyber
attack or other action that makes it vulnerable. He is also the one who must exercise
governance to achieve interoperability towards digital government

Finally, I conclude on the importance of the CIO in the public sector

Conclusions

The CIO (Chief Information Officer) or technology director is the position of maximum

introduce innovative technology solutions to state organizations. The objective of these solutions is
to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the internal and external processes carried out by the
entity. But the CIO is also responsible for planning security protocols that shield your organization
from a cyber-attack or other action that makes it vulnerable. He is also the one who must exercise
governance to achieve interoperability towards digital government.

To achieve our goals in life, we must be responsible, disciplined, perspicuous, have

charisma, perseverance, and dedication. Nothing in life is easy, but it's not impossible
either.
