Information management is not solely an information systems responsibility.  Information management is a responsibility of anyone and everyone in the enterprise who creates, updates, deletes, or uses information in some way.

The transition to the Information Age applies the same principles to the information resource as are applied to capital and human resources.  Among those principles is accountability for the use of the business resources.  In order to optimize the effectiveness of information management accountability must be applied to the definition of data and to the quality of data created, both in source databases and in migration to strategic databases (data warehouses). 

This seminar addresses the several roles of information stewardship in the effective Information-Age enterprise.  You learn how leading edge organizations have organized and implemented information accountability for information as a business-- not just a technical-- resource.

Upon completion of this seminar, you will be able to:

• Define information stewardship
