Evolving Your Information Architecture – What? Why? How? Better use and component reengineering.

Information architecture models (IAs) are increasingly recognised across organisations as valuable blueprints with a practical business use. All organisations have IAs. The question is – who knows this and effectively are they used? The architectures provide a common language that readily creates new insight of the information and processing challenges plaguing organisations.

IAs can be confusing as they both map and guide the links between an organisation’s strategic and operational information. The organisational strategy provides an impetus to refine data strategy so that the most critical components of the IA can be understood and reengineered. Great data governance is the glue required for this to be effective.

This workshop delivers a better understanding of the structure, use and evolution your organisation’s Information Architecture.
