Developments in mobile communications and the internet mean that information passes through and between organisations in numerous forms. The modernising agenda of Government reinforces the need to address these developments.
Organisations need to manage these increasingly complex information flows economically with robust systems. Failure to do so will leave your organisation seriously disadvantaged and at risk of losing control.
This invaluable new title builds on the principles of the popular CIPFA publication, ‘Achieving an Information Strategy’. It is designed to bring you up to date with the latest developments and offers a compendium of actual information strategies which are already in use. It forms a basis for learning from what others have done and illustrates that public services have adopted a range of styles and approaches to their information journey.
