The decade of the 90s is redefining the role of data as the enterprise's second most valuable resource.  Data resource management is enabling organizations to achieve competitive advantage, business re-engineering and enhancement of the business value chain.

In this seminar you learn the principles of information management and how to apply them in the business areas.  You learn the goals and objectives information management must achieve to enable the information age.  Addressed are the management and organizational issues required to implement information management effectively.  Potential pitfalls facing information management are identified along with guidance on how to avoid them. 

While organizations have recognized the requirement for quality improvement to be competitive in the 90s, and I/S functions have recognized the need to improve the software quality process, very little has taken place to measure and improve the quality of data.  This seminar describes metrics for measuring the quality of data and management techniques for implementing a total quality program for information management.  You learn how organizations have implemented steps to measure and improve the quality and effectiveness of their information management.

In order to optimize the effectiveness of information management as a resource, there must be accountability for that resource in a way similar to accountability for financial and human resources.  This seminar addresses the role of information stewardship in information management in the business areas.
