Why this Seminar?
Information Management is not an Information Systems responsibility. Information Management is a responsibility of anyone and everyone in the enterprise who creates, updates, deletes, or applies information to perform their work.
Managing information in the Information Age requires the same kinds of principles as are applied to capital (financial), inventory, facilities and human resources. Among those principles is accountability for the use of the business resources. In order to optimize the effectiveness of Information Management, accountability must be applied to the definition of data and to the quality of data created, both in operational databases and propagated to strategic databases (data warehouses) and delivered to Knowledge Workers.
This seminar addresses the several roles of information stewardship in the effective Information-Age enterprise. You learn how leading edge organizations have organized and implemented information accountability for information as a business - not just a technical - resource.
Upon completion of this seminar, you will be able to:
- Define information stewardship and information governance
- Describe specific business and systems stewardship roles and responsibilities
- Describe the organization "structure" and accountabilities for information governance
- Describe how to implement information accountabilities correctly
- Describe how to implement effective information governance and stewardship
- Describe barriers to information stewardship implementation and strategies for neutralizing the barriers
- Describe critical success factors for implementing information stewardship
