Description
This self-paced training course provides an introductory exploration of the Information Mediator Building Block (IMBB), designed for individuals involved in driving digital transformation and enhancing government interoperability. Centered on the principles of secure, efficient, and standardized data exchange, the course highlights the critical role of information mediators in fostering connected digital ecosystems.
Through 7 comprehensive modules, participants engage with key concepts, tools, and methodologies, while developing practical skills to design, implement, and manage information mediators. The course emphasizes the importance of interoperability in advancing digital public infrastructure (DPI) and supporting whole-of-government approaches. Learners are equipped with the competencies to integrate the Information Mediator Building Block into diverse projects, enabling seamless data sharing across government agencies, private sector stakeholders, and international partners.
By understanding the value of secure and efficient data exchange processes, participants are empowered to drive impactful change in their digital development initiatives. This course ultimately supports the realization of sustainable, inclusive, and transparent digital ecosystems aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Policymakers, decision-makers in public and private sectors, digital transformation specialists, IT professionals, innovators, entrepreneurs, researchers, academics, and industry professionals seeking to enhance interoperability, secure data exchange, and drive digital public infrastructure development.
No prior knowledge or qualification required. This course is open to all interested digital services.
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Apply interoperability frameworks to design and implement secure, efficient, and standardized data exchange systems.
- Analyze the role of Information Mediators in enhancing digital public infrastructure and supporting whole-of-government approaches.
- Demonstrate proficiency in utilizing tools and methodologies to develop, deploy, and manage Information Mediator Building Blocks.
- Synthesize best practices and case studies to inform decision-making on data exchange and system integration.
- Collaborate effectively with stakeholders to ensure cross-sectoral alignment in the design and implementation of interoperability solutions.
- Address security, privacy, and data protection considerations when designing and managing information exchange platforms.
- Design actionable steps to implement and sustain Information Mediator Building Blocks in national, regional, or sectoral digital transformation projects.
The methodology for this course is self-paced and it includes tasks in the form of knowledge checks, case studies, self-study materials, resources, and expert-led video recordings. These components engage participants in practical application, analysis of real-world examples, interactive exercises, reflective practice, and insights from industry experts.
