OFFICIAL QGEA consultation with Industry Proposal
OFFICIAL Overview • Purpose • Industry • Queensland Government • Memorandum of Understanding • Challenges and other considerations • Overview of proposed consultation process • Way forward 2
OFFICIAL Purpose The why and how of engaging with industry • Industry is keen to be part of the policy consultation process • We want to build on the success of our engagement for DIGITAL 1 ST • We will consult on mandatory QGEA documents (e. g. principles and policies) • We will discuss with industry to see if they wish to target a few key documents. • Industry is welcome to suggest new policies • We can leverage existing groups such as the quarterly SIG meeting (AIIA Special Interest Group) • We will run as a pilot and review lesson’s learned.
OFFICIAL Queensland Government Opportunities • Aligns to D 1 ST Principle 6 – Harness skills and experience. • Assist in understanding policy impact on industry - their input is one source of information Principles • Minimal impost on authors • Fit into existing processes where possible • Agencies are comfortable with the proposed approach • Transparency of process • Run as a pilot (D 1 ST principle 8 – experiment learn and improve) • No obligation for Industry to provide input • No obligation on authors to respond to Industry feedback 4
OFFICIAL Memorandum of understanding Basis of engagement • Reviews: This process will largely support the review of existing policies, and if/when government is developing a new policy. • New policy: Where Industry has an idea for a new policy, please email qgcio@qgcio. qld. gov. au with an outline of the purpose, scope and implementation suggestions. Agency support for the policy will determine its viability. • Unified: AIIA will provide a single/consolidated feedback that is unified in it’s direction, one which represents industry’s viewpoint • Timeframes: Timeframes are subject to change. We will do our best efforts to predict and inform you of timeframes, however due to government priorities these may change. • Feedback: Industry is under no obligation to provide feedback on policies. • Responses: An author is under no obligation to respond to feedback. Industry feedback is one additional source of information, and cannot have the same weight as Government agency feedback. • Unofficial: Discussions and draft documents may focus on future direction and ideas and cannot be considered approved government policy or direction. • Product agnostic: Feedback from industry must not be associated with particular commercial products, devices or software. Feedback must be project/vendor and company agnostic and focus on future directions, opportunities, and options to best meet government and citizen needs. • Lobbyists: AIIA should inform QGCIO if any person participating in the consultation are lobbyists, to enable this to be appropriately declared as per government policy. • Non-disclosure: Draft documents are to be treated as per the Queensland Government Information Security Classification Framework controls as OFFICIAL and not to be released to the general public. 5
OFFICIAL Challenges and considerations Issue Mitigation • Various industries wish to participate however they are not members of AIIA • AIIA to facilitate all industry feedback • Possible conflict of interest for private industry informing government policy • Ensure process transparency, and communications messaging • Industry may be lobbyists • Any lobbyists will need to sign a declaration • Not all author’s may be comfortable engaging with industry • QGCIO will act as a liaison point between AIIA and authors. • Agencies will need to be comfortable engaging with industry on government policy • QGCIO to consult with CIO’s. Publish Industry feedback on discussion forum. • Industry wants a written response or wants to meet with the author. • This will be the Author’s decision. QGCIO can act as a liaison during meetings. 6
