Senior ICT Governance & Strategy Consultant

Description

We expect the candidate for this position to be bilingual (French-Dutch).

This is a mission within the ICT working group of the support services working group in the context of the establishment of the Federal Public Service (FPS) Migration.

Context:

The federal government is establishing a new FPS Migration to centralize the Belgian migration landscape under one umbrella. This integration brings together services such as the Immigration Office (DVZ), the Federal Agency for the Reception of Asylum Seekers (Fedasil), the Commissioner General for Refugees and Stateless Persons (CGVS), and the Council for Alien Law Litigation to allow procedures to be carried out more quickly and efficiently. In addition, horizontal support services are being developed, including ICT.

The FPS Interior (FOD IBZ) currently plays a central role as the bearer of critical basic services and chain processes. This includes, among other things, the management of identity and population registers, support for internal security and emergency planning, management of business-specific applications for the asylum and migration chain, and providing horizontal ICT services such as infrastructure, networks, work environments, security, and integration platforms. The accumulated experience in managing complex chains is an important reference for the future organization of ICT service delivery within FPS Asylum and Migration.

The blueprint for the new government service includes four core directorates:

In addition, specific support cells are being established for vulnerable individuals and security files. The Council for Alien Law Litigation (RvV) is also linked as an independent appeal body under this new structure.

Assignment:

This assignment involves an AS-IS analysis based on which various scenarios (including the elaboration of pros and cons) regarding a vision for ICT service delivery and the ambition level in this future FPS migration will be developed.

Within this mission, a path will then be outlined to realize the selected scenario.

We want to ensure that ICT support for both FPSs, as well as the various clients of internal affairs (Police, Foreign Affairs, private institutions, regional and local authorities, etc.) and Asylum and Migration (Partners in the reception network, NGOs, etc.) is organized in a viable and efficient manner, regardless of the chosen scenario.

Deliverables:

Duration

This mission will be carried out within a period of six months. Within this period, the assignment is regarded as a strategic analysis, design, and scenario exercise, resulting in a decision framework, target architecture, and transition direction. The actual implementation of the chosen scenario and the associated organizational, budgetary, and technical transformation is not part of this assignment and should be regarded as a separate follow-up process.
