Strategic Approach
• Developing a corporate wide approach to managing information as an asset (i.e. the people, processes, models and standards) must be put in place
• Developing Business Information standards e.g. hold information once in one place, update information in one place
• Legal compliance (The Freedom of Information Act, Data Protection Act, Environmental Information Regulations)
• Support the roll-out of CRM
• Support the aim for 80% of all enquiries to be resolved at the first point of contact
How is information gathered?
• Utilise information expertise in service areas e.g. appoint Business Information Stewards
• Use existing documentation/information e.g. Business Design work
• Approach according to a business determined prioritisation list
• Use appropriate tools and structured templates to gather/utilise information e.g. Business Information Template
• Provide guidance & support throughout the project e.g. specific guidance on completing the Business Information Template
• Use new technology to enable effective information access and management – Content Management System, document management system
1. Create a structured template to hold core data for:
– Web content (Primary Info Source)
– Business Support Pages (CMS)
– CRM system
2. Appoint ‘Business Information Stewards’ in each service area
3. Manage information via centralised Business Information Team
‘Funnel’ information in via ONE route
Using a ‘Business Information Template’ for Business Information Gathering
Business Information Stewards – the role
• Information Stewardship can be defined as “the willingness to take ownership of a defined set of business information”
• In order to achieve this, the information stewards must have a good comprehension of the the day to day business operations
• Understand the information held in the service area
BIS Role - Continued
Role/Requirements:• Must have access to the information sources
within their service area• Ensure that the information required is
provided in a timely fashion delegating to information experts where required
• Responsible for collating information on the BI template and ensuring information gathered is correct and that it can be understood by a layman e.g. NO acronyms or other terms that require specialist knowledge.
What do we do with the information?
The BI Team will consolidate the information supplied to be used/formatted for multiple audiences. These include:
• All business information is placed on organisation’s Web Site
• Customer Services – The BI Team create Business Support Pages in the Content Management System. These pages are used by the Customer Services staff to obtain information about the services.
• Marketing – Ensure forms and published literature is corporately branded
• BI Team – will consolidate an A-Z literature list (forms, schedules)
• BI Team – will make recommendations to improve processes, identify and agree front-line processes and hand-off points
Conclusions
• A long-term View• Requires Commitment to the Vision
