Information management is
not solely an information systems responsibility. Information management is
a responsibility of anyone and everyone in the enterprise who creates, updates,
deletes, or uses information in some way.
Managing information in
the Information Age requires the same kinds of principles as are applied to
capital 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 source databases and in migration to strategic
databases (data warehouses).
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.
