    Universiteit Leiden M.Sc. ICT in Business and the Public Sector Thesis Roles, position and IT governance of the departmental CIO at the Dutch central government (Rijksoverheid) and its maturity potential. Name: Jeroen Neve Date: 10/04/2019 1st supervisor: Drs. P.M. van Veen 2nd supervisor: T.D. Offerman, Msc M.Sc. Thesis Leiden University (LIACS) Niels Bohrweg 1 2333 CA Leiden The Netherlands Abstract The position of departmental CIO was initiated (in 2008) in order to control & supervise IT projects on strategic ministerial level and make crucial steps in the organization and coordination of information management within the ministry. As ministries differ in scale and vitality of the IT activity, the CIO function differs per ministry. In this study, we have examined the leading roles, position, IT governance and maturity potential of the departmental CIO. In the literature section, we have defined seven main themes in order to clarify the CIO environment and made the distinction between the general interpretation of the CIO, public sector CIO interpretation and what is already known in Dutch central government context. As the definition of Chief Information Officer (CIO) firstly emerged during the '80s as a senior executive responsible for establishing corporate information policy standards and takes management control over all information resources. The CIO in Public sector context emerged during the ‘90s were the environment of the Public sector CIO is known to be less flexible and more risk-averse in contrast with their private sector counterparts. In terms of responsibilities, we have seen the Rijksoverheid CIO holds mainly responsibility in the domains of IT strategy, information portfolio management and raises advice- and prioritize IT among ministry board members.
