Questions for the use of ICT
• Do we understand the context?
• Do we have a good diagnostic of the problem?
• Does the tool reinforce a particular strategy?
• What is the comparative advantage of the tool?
• Who are the providers and users?
• Are the sources of information credible, timely and useful with respect to the objectives?
• Are we enabling collaborative processes?
• Are we closing the loop?
• Is it sustainable?
