• It is our understanding that SA has the oldest age demographic in Australia. This relatively older age distribution within SA will require effective strategies in the areas of continuing education in regard to retooling for new jobs and pathways to reenter academia for adult students. • This age demographic also creates a significant aging teacher population requiring critical programs for teacher in-training skills. • As with many areas of the world, SA faces issues associated with the disparity of computer technology availability between population groups. • Because of current funding trends, DETE needs to focus on developing a commercially driven approach. • DETE needs to find ways to overcome the tendency for innovative teachers to burnout due to increased expectation of job performance above their existing duties. • The new types of programs being developed by DETE are generating increasingly more intellectual property issues that need to be addressed • There is no clear integration of entrepreneurial orientated programs in the engineering or science curriculums at the South Australian universities. • Sometimes as the various educational organizations in the State strive to establish entrepreneurial approaches and programs they come in conflict with rigidity of the system, like old job titles and pay scales vs. new functions and job requirements. Quotes Notable quotes included: • “ The degree and speed of Internet connectivity for our schools is only as important as the quality of use.” • “Our core business is learning.” COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCE 70
Interview Team -Pete Polonsky -Dave Gibson -Nick Daley -Catherine Polito -Robert Meyer Local people Chris Hannaford (ACC) Mark McAllister (ACC) Carlo Volpato (ACC) Mike Smiljanic (ACC) ENTREPRENEURIAL INFRASTRUCTURE- SMART CITY Wednesday, July 13, 2001 Submitted by Pete Polonsky Strengths • Strong engagement from city government leaders. • Very good pro-active initiatives: o Adelaidebiz.com.au received very strong acceptance rates by businesses. o Early addressing of bandwidth requirements with the Smart Building project. o Gartner e-government strategy to provide presence, interaction, transaction, and transformation of government with people. o Private enterprises do appreciate the infrastructure activities. They feel they are valuable whereas they do not feel ‘consulting and advice’ from government officials is valuable. Obstacles • Will the lack of a revenue model be sustainable for the Adelaidebiz.com.au? If not, will merchants continue to participate after receiving it for free? • Lack of industry experts running projects. Government personnel are dedicated and hardworking, but expertise cannot be replaced. • Lack of understanding of what private enterprises actually want, need, and will place value on. It is not understood what businesses actually want? It appears that some initiatives are conceived and implemented without the input of the actual customers. • Do e-government initiatives enhance or benefit anyone? Or do they just cost the government and provide another alternative that few are using? There must be measurable outcomes. What is the ROI? Recommendations • The City of Adelaide should consult with the IT Council (which represents the private sector) to take advice as to what they feel they need and want the government to provide. The council should be run entirely by the private sector with reports made to the government. Then, when specific initiatives are requested, instead of the government undertaking all of them with their funding, look to outside, professional contractors to actually provide the services. Outside contractors will be more accountable than a government agency because their livelihood depends on providing the services at the right costs. COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCE 71
