📋 Tender Overview
At the end of 2025, the Ministry of Management and Innovation in Public Services (MGI) launched strategic training aimed at training the new role of Data Executive, which will play a central role in the digital transformation of the Federal Public Administration. The initiative prepares professionals from around 250 bodies in the Information Technology Resources Management System (SISP) to act as those responsible for articulating the strategic use of data within each body, strengthening the formulation and implementation of evidence-based public policies.
Today, data is a strategic asset of the State, says the Deputy Secretary of Digital Government at MGI, Luanna Roncaratti. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the governance of these assets, to increase the efficiency of public administration and accelerate innovation, he adds. According to the secretary, the ultimate objective of governance and digital transformation initiatives is always to improve the delivery of public services, making them increasingly faster, safer and more effective for citizens. The creation of the Data Executive role awaits the publication of the Data Governance Decree, which underwent public consultation in 2025. The decree establishes guidelines for the responsible, safe and strategic use of public data, in a context marked by the accelerated advancement of artificial intelligence in the public sector.
It was in this scenario that MGIs Digital Government Secretariat (SGD), in partnership with Serpro and Enap, structured the Executive Data Program. The training was designed to train leaders capable of treating data as strategic assets of the State, implementing and supervising data governance policies, ensuring quality, security and protection of public information, promoting interoperability and responsible data sharing and integrating data and artificial intelligence into decision-making processes in an ethical, responsible and sovereign manner.
The program is aimed at public managers, executives and strategic leaders, professionals in the areas of information technology, data, governance and innovation, as well as data curators and digital transformation teams, especially those involved with public policies, digital services and the use of artificial intelligence. With a total workload of 260 hours, the training seeks to strengthen an institutional culture oriented towards data, innovation and results.
The deputy secretary also highlights that the effective use of artificial intelligence in the public service directly depends on the quality and adequate management of data. AI works based on available data. If this data is bad or not interoperable between different systems and bodies, we will not get the expected results, explains Luanna. Thats why the creation of this Data Executive figure is so important. These people will be responsible, on a day-to-day basis, for making everything work well, he reinforces.
More information about the Executive Data Program is available on the EV.G website.
