"Weak" change management and "chronic" shortage of human resources need to be overcome in Brunei's journey towards achieving an effective e-government, said the deputy permanent secretary (IT and E-Government).

Hj Azhar Hj Ahmad, who also holds the post of Overall Government Chief Information Officer (CIO), said that in terms of e-government, change management was an "underestimated risk".

"We have seen the results of weak change management in the implementation of projects, such as weak adoption by end-users. The root of this really comes from weak adoption of project management discipline," he highlighted during an open forum discussing e-government at the THiNKBIG Technology Forum on Thursday.

Based on her experience of visiting government websites, most are still just pages of information for the department or ministry while those that do have a proper website posted on the Internet have features that are still under construction.
