This chapter presents an IT Governance Framework and a Competency Model that was developed to identify the intellectual capital and the strategic actions needed to implement an efficient IT Governance programme in Brazilian Government Offices. This work is driven by the premise that the human assets of an organization should adhere to a set of core competencies in order to prioritize and achieve business goals that, when seen from a government perspective are related to public resources management. IT Governance may help the organization to succeed in its business domain; consequently, through effective investment policies and strategic decisions on IT assets, the organization can come up with a business-IT alignment proposal, capable of enabling and achieving highly integrated business services.

Information Technology (IT) is strategic for organization management (Stair & Reynolds, 2005), although, many companies lack IT governance and planning, skilled people, defined and institutionalized methods and procedures, internal controls and indicators, and structures for agreement service levels and information security, legality, and economy. In this scenario, a minimum organization and control in the use of resources is needed to boost technical and administrative efficiency, with a focus on IT governance. An Information Technology Strategic Plan (ITSP) aims at discovering the resources and IT in an organization, to direct the technological and information architecture to its strategic objectives. The Brazilian Government issued a Normative Instruction (NI04) for public organizations to develop IT Strategic Plans so that they can purchase products and services. In order to help organizations develop, control and manage their ITSPs, a model was created that defines a set of auxiliary steps in the construction of the ITSP. Throughout this article we present an ITSP development and management model, its evaluation, and our conclusions.

Abstract Sociocultural developmental psychology can drive new directions in gadgetry science. We use autobiographical memory, a compound capacity incorporating episodic memory, as a case study. Autobiographical memory emerges late in development, supported by interactions with parents. Intervention research highlights the causal influence of these interactions, whereas cross-cultural research demonstrates culturally determined diversity. Different patterns of inheritance are discussed.
