Technical requirements: Difi invites public entities, suppliers of consultancy services and competence development services and academia to a dialogue meeting in order to get input on strategic ICT competence for managers in the public sector. The dialogue meeting is meant to be an open arena where interested parties will have the opportunity to influence the design and content of a new, joint framework.
Cabinet Minister Jan Tore Sanner sees management's role as very important for succeeding with digital transformation. If managers are to succeed, they must have the correct competence. Difi arranged a dialogue meeting 8 November and invites interested parties to a new dialogue meeting 27 November on strategic ICT competence for managers, which is a continuation of this work.
The dialogue meeting will be held at Difi, Grev Wedels plass 9, 1st floor, 27.11.2017 from 9:30-13:00.

There is very little systematic description on strategic ICT competence and IT operation and management. Difi sees that there is a need to describe what competence is required to manage the digital transformation.
The work that Difi is now starting is a continuation and shall contribute to competence measures for different management levels in the public sector being developed in cooperation with the supplier branch and academia. A first step can be to work together on the development of a joint model that describes what is the most important competence required to succeed with the digital transformation. By having a joint understanding of what knowledge, abilities, attitudes and skills managers must have, the organisation and ordering of subsequent competence measures will be as relevant as possible.
Nearly 50 representatives from academia, public administration and different suppliers of consultancy services and competence development services were present at the meeting 8 November. They had the opportunity to contribute, exchange experiences and meet other interested parties.
Difi first presented experiences they have had with events for all top management groups in the government within the theme strategic ICT competence for top managers. Then actors from the various sectors, suppliers and academia gave their reflections and input. In addition, group work throughout the day gave valuable discussions and input for further work.
Feedback from the first dialogue meeting implies that the initiative was relevant and useful. Difi would therefore like to continue to work on the feedback and with competence areas and we therefore invite public entities, suppliers and academia to another dialogue meeting.
11:00 Group work, discussions and contributions from interested parties (administration, suppliers, academia)
