Information is the lifeblood of any organisation. It plays an essential role in every decision an organisation makes or expects to make. Using and managing information well is critical to effectively and efficiently delivering services.
The information held by organisations informs decisions about service delivery, supports evidence-based policy development and decision-making, and helps measure performance and effectiveness.
What is an information management strategy?
At a basic level a strategy is a plan to achieve a goal or set of goals.However an effective information management strategy is much more than this.
A well-developed information management strategy clearly articulates an organisation’s key problems and issues (both strategic and operational).
It outlines how information can be effectively managed to not only address problems and issues but also create new insights and opportunities.
It provides clear principles contextualised to the organisation which provide guidance on managing information and informing projects and activities.
