Elite Education in e-Governance - An international elite school for executives and decision-makers in administration, politics and the business world

Lausanne (ots)

Switzerland now also has an elite educational
program for future executives in the public and private sectors. The
Executive Master in e-Governance at the Swiss Federal Institute of
Technology in Lausanne is directed towards the future directors in
administration as well as the top elite within industry, non-profit
organizations, NGOs and political parties. Within a year, job-related
themes such as Risk, Change and Technology Management with the aim of
mastering Information and Communication Technology (ICT) as a basis
for a changing profession within administration will be taught and
implemented at the same time.
According to Professor Finger, the Director of the Program, this
is one of the few educational programs in the world that presents the
participant with clear concepts and examples of Information and
Communication Technology (ICT) that can be used to accelerate a
lasting change in the state and can smooth the way for an integrated
electronic governance within the scope of state control and
governance mechanisms. The main focus will be on the procurement of
the following competencies:
  • the ability to formulate e-Governance strategies in order to optimize internal processes and structures and also to develop new forms of interaction with the stakeholders,
  • the tools to be able to correctly evaluate and select technologies for the specified strategy, and
  • the Know-how in Project and Risk Management in order to implement the defined strategies without delays and cost overruns.
The Master emanates from Lausanne, goes via the HSG (Hochschule
St. Gallen), to Germany, Belgium, and Finland and then on to Canada
and Mexico. It is based on the ECTS Standard (60 credits), and will
begin in January 2005 and cost 29,000 EUR.
