Workshop overview
Are you implementing a new information management systems or information governance framework? Are you struggling to get information management and governance up the corporate agenda? The organisational development element of your initiative can help ensure that you get the most out for your investments in information management and that your information management programmes are successful.
We all know that the best designed information systems or information governance systems will fail if attention is not paid to changing the behaviours of end users. We also know that we need senior managers to engage with the information management agenda and give us the support or investment that we require to make projects succeed. This workshop addresses both these issues in depth.
The course is participatory and practically-focused. Delegates will have the opportunity during the day to begin developing their own organisational development plan using templates and guidance provided by the workshop leaders. There will also be opportunity to share your ‘war stories’ with other participants and to learn what has gone well (or not so well) in other organisations.
Who should attend?
This workshop is aimed at mid-level and mid-career practitioners in the public sector who have responsibility for information management or governance or who are responsible for IM project or programme implementations.
