Implementation Body
28. The ICT Taskforce recognised and placed high importance on the need to build the sector's networking and knowledge transfer capability. To this end it recommends that an implementation body be established, with government funding for an initial period and industry funding thereafter.
29. The taskforce has provided a proposal that broadly outlines its intentions for this body, and suggests the name "HiGrowth". The body will operate as a project team for the ten year life of the growth strategy, with the purpose of driving the achievement of the growth target and building on the strategy over time, in particular by devising a critical path with milestones and key performance indicators. HiGrowth will therefore be the key mechanism for ensuring industry ownership of the growth target.
30. Issues relating to the implementation bodies proposed by all four taskforces are addressed in Paper 2: Cross Sectoral Initiatives, including setting up a GIF Sector Projects fund to provide additional resources to the GIF Sector Industry bodies to run a range of practical projects.
