The DGB establishes a domain prioritization of data sharing, and Information Technology (IT) transformation efforts to address the business needs across the NASA enterprise. Focus will be on interoperability and data standards, strategic direction of data and information, data products, as well as providing leadership to standardizing analytical capabilities within NASA. The DGB will facilitate making available data to decision makers, to enable informed decisions with advanced analytics, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and other emerging technologies. The goal of IT Data Governance is to provide an efficient and cost effective way to implement enterprise data technology throughout the Agency. This is achieved by: Aligning IT resources with Agency missions and requirements; Strengthening Agency CIOs’ accountability for IT costs, performance, and security; Enabling effective planning, programming, budget and execution for IT resources; Providing transparency into IT resources across the Agency and programs. Agency leadership will have an enterprise-wide awareness to expedite decision- making and to unleash the power of NASA data. APPLICABILITY/SCOPE The authority and scope of the DGB encompasses NASA governance and lifecycle management for both archived and active data,, provides leadership over the Agency's evaluation and learning agenda activities, and advises on statistical policy, techniques, and procedures. Data governance is the process of establishing and enforcing policies, processes, and procedures for managing data in alignment with the Agency's priorities to support our mission. This is accomplished by establishing a data governance structure with sufficient authority over the management of and access to key data assets, including roles for developing, overseeing, and coordinating data management policy and resource allocation. A learning agenda is a systematic way to identify how the data agencies intend to collect, use, or acquire, as well as the methods and analytical approaches to facilitate the use of evidence in policymaking. AUTHORITY NASA’s ITC grants authority to charter the DGB.

GOVERNING COUNCIL AFFILIATION The DGB was approved by the CIO Leadership Team (CLT) Board on 14 January 2020 and is sanctioned by, and reports to, the ITC. The DGB is affiliated with and may brief other Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO), Center and Mission Councils and Boards. FUNCTIONS DGB functions: 1.

  • Roles, Position and IT Governance of the Departmental CIO at the Dutch Central Government (Rijksoverheid) and Its Maturity Potential
    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.
