1. Key Issues
- Member economies joined in the workshop in Beijing resolved that APEC GCIO Training Model
is proven of success in case where groundwork for CIO capacity building is needed and
APECTEL should promote further enhancement and leverage to capture the fast moving ICT
development into a Web 2.0 era where collaborative approaches and tools are the essential
elements for CIOs.

approach among regions in forming up properly sustainable CIO Training Course as well as
Forum and Thematic/Focus Group.
 Establishment of Asia CIO University Network to expand cooperation with other
international fora and network in the area of high level education for CIOs development and
capacity building.
 Establishment of a CIO Education and Training Certification Program aiming for a
“Global Standard” on the Model CIO Council and CIO Adaptive Training Program which
APECTEL endorsed its own models already.

5. Budget
Budget comprised of US$ 94,970 APEC funding and US$ 204,300 self funding. The project
budget is mainly assigned for “per diem” and “travel grant” for limited participants and speakers of

Actual expenditure is not applicable since the expenses were allocated to individuals including
per diem and airfare. Per diem rate is fixed but airfare is different among APEC economies and
each figure is finalized by APEC Sec. Such final figure is normally never been given to PO hence
not applicable to conclude the expense. However, the figure is usually lower than the planned
budget,

APECTEL 03/2007
Foreword
Deployment of GCIO Training Model and Networking for e-Government Development or
TEL 03/2007, a continuity of the project APECTEL 02/2006, namely, “Development of
Model Government CIO Councils” which was succeeded from the successful project of
“Establishment of Government CIO Training Model and Network for e-Government
Development” in 2005 or APECTEL 05/2005, was endorsed under the former Human
Resource Development Steering Group (HRDSG). The project goal is to deploy the GCIO
Training Model in APEC region during 2007 which will be continuingly contributing to the
development of e-Government and GCIOs, considered the key implementation element of eAPEC strategy.
In project implementation, 4 major CIO workshops in USA, Philippines, Indonesia and
China have been organized under APEC partial funding and another 3 self funding CIO
workshops have been held in Japan, Thailand and Vietnam successfully. Member economies
which co-sponsored this project including Indonesia, Japan, Philippines, Viet Nam,
Malaysia, Thailand, Korea, China and USA formed up a Joint Training Team or JTT to play
an active role in executing the target objectives throughout the whole project agenda. The
project succeeded its planned activities as well as its overall objectives.
Our sincere gratitude is to contribute to all co-sponsoring economies for hosting the targeted
workshops from which helped prove the concept of the APEC training model with the
meaningful and valuable development direction for APEC region.
We also would like to deeply thank to all members of JTT for their efforts which have been
proven of success towards the aimed project goal.
Last but not the least, our great appreciation goes to BMC as well as APECSEC, for their
continued supports, tireless coordination and constructive advices given to the JTT members

APECTEL 03/2007
Deployment of GCIO Training Model and Networking for e-Government Development
Project Background
The project “Deployment of GCIO Training Model and Networking for
e-Government Development” is a continuity of the project APECTEL 02/2006, namely,
“Development of Model Government CIO Councils” which was succeeded from the
successful project of “Establishment of Government CIO Training Model and Network for eGovernment Development” in 2005 or APECTEL 05/2005.
The Government CIO Training Model for the APEC region under the project
TEL05/2005 was finalized by the Joint Researcher Team (JRT) during the last workshop
held in Jakarta, Indonesia in November, 2005. The Government CIO Training Model was
concluded with a standard set and tailor made set of GCIO training courses/curricula for
APEC region. Member economies who formed the JRT team resolved during the project
wrap-up session that the project successfully met its objectives and recommended that APEC
GCIO Training Model should be deployed within the region to achieve the so called ‘proof
of concept’.
Therefore, member economies including Thailand, Indonesia, Japan, Philippines, Viet
Nam, Malaysia, China, Korea and USA, do co-sponsor a new project proposal to seek
funding approval from APECTEL to deploy the GCIO Training Model in APEC region
during 2007 as well as to define framework for CIO networking both inside and outside the
region.
Key objectives of the project
The ultimate objective of this project is following

To deploy the APEC GCIO Training Model.

To organize APEC GCIO Training Model and Networking institutions among
sponsorship economies in Local, Regional and APEC Level and develop CIO
collaborative website for sharing and exchanging practices and knowledge.

To intentionally promote ‘train the trainers approach’ within APEC and build up CIO
networking among APEC member economies.

Concept of Deployment of APEC GCIO Training Model
Concept of APEC GCIO Training Model
With reference to TEL 05/2005 project, the GCIO training model comprises of 7 parameters
which are GCIO Responsibilities, GCIO Education Background, GCIO Core Competencies,
GCIO Institutionalization, Maturity Level of ICT and e-Government Development, Findings
from the Survey and Existing Training Courses of each Economy. From these 7 parameters,
an appropriate training course can be derived or customized to serve a certain need by each
APEC member economy in order to implement its GCIO capacity building. To pilot
implementation of this training model under this project, three pilot training courses seeking
funding from APEC will be designed from the model ranging from
-9


Training courses for beginners who would like to build awareness of CIO roles &
responsibilities as well as basic elements of IT management,
Middle-level courses on IT management and
Advanced topics in CIOs
Moreover, member economies which co-sponsor this project will design based on this
training model to organize by self funding in their home economies some customized
training programs for GCIOs both from the local entities and from other member economies.
Considering all well defined seven parameters mentioned above results in a simple standard
set of training courses / curriculum which are divided into a norm of 3 schemes/stages of
GCIO development and they are :
1) Basic : Begin to develop some basic elements of knowledge for GCIOs,
2) Standard : Develop to suit GCIOs’ whole range of required elements and
3) Advanced: Develop to suit CIOs’ requirement of advance training.
And including CIO University which is accepted as a comprehensive courses for CIO and
ICT executives capacity building, as per below details :
