In public sector, “Government CIO” is proving to be a key champion of the strategies by governments and engaged stakeholders to support and to further e-service excellence in an entire governance structure. In private sector, it has been stated that the role and the power of CIO in the managerial board are expanding to address knowledge-based business models and rapid changes of business environment. 3 These three days of productive discussions and ideas exchanged, allow members and participants to endorse the following agenda and further actions: 1. Support and improve the existing collaboration among academia, governments, business sectors, international organizations, and other related parties for the rapid development of e-Government as a tool to overcome the worldwide economic and environmental crises. 2. Strengthen the development and implementation of the CIO model by IAC endorsed by APEC around the world by supporting “International Accreditation Program for CIO studies” at a graduate level, adapting them to the particular conditions of countries where these programs are implemented. 3. Continue with the existing research on the new roles for the CIO in an innovative approach, focusing on the main existing problems worldwide, economic and environmental crises, and the rapid aging of citizens. 4. Universities have to play an active role by both creating and diffusing appropriate contents to be delivered by International Accreditation for CIO Competence. In a worldwide crisis context, the usage of ICT to support distance learning (e-learning) can enormously benefit developing countries by reducing the associated costs for education provision. 5. The collaboration between governments and the private sector through PPP is necessary in a world economic crisis.
