About Us - Chief Information Officer Branch
The Chief Information Officer Branch (CIOB) sets strategic directions for information
management (IM), information technology (IT) and service delivery in the Government of Canada.
The Branch is responsible for developing and implementing strategies, policies,
standards and guidelines and key
performance indicators (KPIs) to improve service delivery, IM, IT, privacy
and security in departments and agencies, and enhance compliance with Treasury
Board requirements. Through these activities, CIOB plays a key role in
identifying and leveraging opportunities to improve the overall quality and
value for money of government service delivery and internal operations.
Principal activities in CIOB include:
- Developing and implementing an enterprise architecture (EA) for Government of Canada services, information,
solutions and technology to facilitate government‑wide and inter‑jurisdictional collaboration and
improve efficiency.
- Developing and implementing a phased implementation strategy for the Management
of Government Information Policy to enhance IM within departments and
agencies and establish the role of shared IM infrastructure services.
- Monitoring the designs, implementation plans and management of significant IT projects to determine their strategic
value and performance.
- Defining the Government of Canada's strategy for transforming service delivery by rethinking and integrating service
offerings and using common business processes, and overseeing its implementation in departments and agencies.
- Establishing and managing a program to modernize the delivery of government administrative services (e.g.,
IT, human resources, financial and material management) through the use of shared infrastructures.
