Revised Bhutan ICT Roadmap 5. CONCLUSION A   series   of   workshops,   conducted   with   various   stakeholders,   provided   in-­‐ sights  to  the  implementation  of  ICT  programmes  identified  in  the  Bhutan  ICT   Roadmap.   These   in-­‐sights   provided   the   data   points   for   the   revision   of   the   Bhutan  ICT  Roadmap.     The   review   concluded   that   the   objective,   outcomes   and   goals   of   the   ICT   roadmap   were   still   relevant   except   for   minor   enhancement.   Of   the   34   programmes,   23   programmes   were   identified   to   be   ‘in   progress’   or   ‘not   started’.  As  part  of  the  review  exercise,  these  uncompleted  programmes  were   ranked,  assigned  with  KPIs,  included  implementation  cost  and  allocated  with   the  responsible  agency.   Key   recommendations   such   as   commitment   to   change   management   planning,   exploring   other   funding   models   (such   as   PPP),   building   up   human   resource   capability   by   adopting   ICT   competency   training   roadmap   and   the   development   of   a   national   ICT   masterplan   are   important   for   government   to   carry  out.   It   is   essential   that   governance   be   in   place   for   the   execution   of   all   ICT   programmes.  All  programmes  will  therefore  need  to  be  closely  monitored  by   the  e-­‐Governance  committees.     In   conclusion,   the   revised   ICT   roadmap   reflects   the   current   status   of   ICT   programmes   and   offered   several   recommendations   to   overcome   implementation   challenges.   The   revised   Bhutan   ICT   Roadmap   and   the   11th   Five-­‐Year   Plan   will   provide   the   necessary   impetus   for   ICT   development   in   Bhutan  for  the  next  four  years.     © 2015.
