An Information Management policy ensures a common and consistent approach to how information assets are treated by staff. It communicates the principle that information and records created in the course of work are the property of the employing organisations and must be prepared and managed as such – they are not private property. An IM policy review may be conducted alongside an Information or Knowledge Audit exercise.
When we work with an organisation on their IM policy, we operate at a number of levels:
- assessing the balance of needs between knowledge management, information management and records management (KRIM)
- assessing the consistency of information management practices across the organisation
- assessing existing policies for completeness, covering information throughout all the stages in its lifecycle
- reviewing the existing policy framework covering KRIM areas, and recommending improvements
- establishing a governance framework work KRIM policy development
- establishing a policy hierarchy to ensure consistency between the overall policy aims, and sub-policies covering different areas (eg between information security and knowledge sharing objectives)
