Minor successes - major plans

I've blogged a couple of times about the information environment and how I may have a chance of finally being in an organisation where I can implement it.  Well good news, the organisation has agreed to proceed with implementing the Information Management Strategic Framework that I have developed for them. It is the beginning of a long process, but they seem willing to take the long journey of getting this sorted and doing it right.

There are two next steps to build the information environment, they are conducting an information audit to develop the Information Inventory and conducting a needs assessment with the business to develop the Needs Matrix.

It may take up to 6 months to get this process completely finished and get all of the documentation finished, but from there we can develop the Information Management Strategy, which will feed into the ICT and RIM plans.

While we go through this process we are still going to proceed with the Records and Information Management Improvement Program that I have developed. This is designed to sort out naming conventions, the shared drive and finally an EDRMS implementation - which can happen alongside the other development work.

So it is full steam ahead it would seem - I'll keep you posted on the progress as it goes along.
