Example: “Smart Solomon” Islands • Population of 0. 6 million • 900 small islands (100 mile x 100 mile). • 85% of the population is in 900 islands. • No schools beyond primary education • No healthcare facilities • Capital city (Honiara) • Only large city • Decent schools & healthcare • Only 15% of the population • 2 to 5 hours to transport a patient from an island to a hospital in Honiara. • Kids sent to Honiara for education at risk • Middle class income USD 500 per month • USD 1200 per month for a 1 Mbps line

“Smart Solutions” – Reality Check Goals • Health, Education, Safety, Welfare, etc • UN Sustainable Development Goals (17 SDGs) Location: • Rural vs Urban (50 -50) • Developed (40) vs Developing (150) • Technology and Energy Smart Hubs Smart (KDAL) • Knowledge • Detect • Adjust • Learn Implementation Approach • People, Processes and Technologies Tradeoffs • Collaboration for wider impact

How to Get Started

SMART CITIES & ENTERPRISE: Graduate Education at HU ISEM (Information Systems Engineering & Management)- Grad Program n Focus on different aspects of Digital Enterprises (e. g. , Smart Enterprires) u u u IS = latest technologies (e. g. , Digital Technologies) SE = Systems Engineering, consider people, processes and technologies EM = Engineering Management (planning, engineering, management) Concentration in Smart Enterprises • • ISEM 572: Smart Enterprises and Strategic Intelligence ISEM 500: Strategic Planning, Engineering and Management of Digital Enterprises Other courses in Digital Technologies, Analytics, Project Management, etc Capstone: Applied Projects

Training: Certificate for IT Officials • All courses are offered completely online as hands-on workshops. In-Class and Hybrid delivery methods can be made available on demand. • The Program consists of three core courses (C 1, C 2, C 3), and one capstone. • Additional courses may be offered in ICT applications in specific areas such as education, agriculture, business, food safety, health, and public welfare as needed. • Each course (12 hours of instruction) is divided into four sessions (3 hours each). Course C 1: Smart Enterprises

Smart Hubs for Smart Solutions Sustainable Goals • Health, Education, Safety, Welfare, etc • Example: UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Location: • Rural vs Urban (50 -50) • Developed (40) vs Developing (150) • Technology and Energy Smart Hubs Smart Portals • Knowledge • Detect • Adjust • Learn Implementation Approach • People, Processes and Technologies Tradeoffs • Collaboration for wider impact

Concluding Comments Main Idea: Smart hubs that offer location specific services and collaborate with each other Lessons Learned and Insights Gained Ø More data and knowledge does not necessarily lead to better decisions –decision support tools do Ø Do not declare victory too early or accept defeat too soon Ø Pay more attention to value provided and not just to volume (no of partners, no of people involved, amount of funding), etc
