IDA is actually rebuilding its technical capability, so they're not entirely unaware of the problem. But a problem with that is
IDA after all is a stat board, a regulator and promoter of ICT sector, not a tech company. so there's some fundamental issue as of if
IDA really build up a strong tech team, will it be unfair competition with industry? many years ago
IDA or its predecessor actually have in-house engineering/technical capability, but eventually disappeared because it wants to focus on it core function as a regulator and policy maker. Now seems to repeat itself in cycle trying to develop in-house tech capability again.

better than average performer get around 4 months bonus and the best performer can get up to 6 months.
most IDA staff, even those who claim to be tech savvy, actually can't survive a real technical job outside. maybe they can when they first come, but the environment doesn't really encourage or facilitate improvements on technical capability. eventually one either accept the "project manager" career, or go for management, or strategy. there's no real technical job within IDA, all real techy part done through throwing tender, or call challenge and grant. |
