CIO for governing innovation in information society - case study: Educating Green ITS at university in Japan

E-Governance, as defined by United nations is ¿the public sector´s use of ICT with the aim of improving information and service delivery, encouraging citizen participation in the decision-making process and making government more accountable, transparent and effective¿. It can also be described as the process of forming relationships among stakeholders in order to achieve common consensus for education which can lead to increased citizen engagement and participation, strengthening electronic governance. As a case study, the focus point of this research is on the activities of CIOs for ITS specifically on the issue on transformation of an innovative service platform of e-governance for Green ITS education under the Information/Eco-mobility Society. I conclude that core competencies in CIOs for Green ITS are of prime importance to the development of innovative solutions in various levels of ITS. There are lots of common issues and activities in implementing both engineering and socio-economic programs, especially for strategic plans and contents of services and applications prepared for Green ITS. As innovative CIO, ITS as e-gov public policy for reducing pollution, traffic jam and accidents is very important sector.
