Canberra, Rydges Lakeside Hotel, 14-16 August 2007
The Information Management Survey
Information is a key asset of every organisation. Timely access to good quality information is a basic requirement for managing any kind of business. How often do you examine your processes for managing information? Does your information resources effectively support business processes? Is your information management characterised by disparate information sources? More time and effort spent in searching for information than using it? Questionable information quality contributing to bad decision making? Volumes of information and number of various formats and ways it is stored and/or presented significantly reduces your ability to produce consistent, useable and accurate search results?
This survey aims to identify key activities, areas of excellence and inefficiencies, and utilise the survey results to examine information management practices today.
The survey results will be published at the IIM National Conference 2007 to be held in Canberra, 14-16 August 2007.
This survey takes less than 10 minutes to complete. Surveys must be completed before the 3rd August to enable compilation of the survey data.

About The Institute for Information Management's 2007 National Conference
According to Wikipedia, the philosophy of Information Management is characterised by the phrase
'Knowing what information to gather, knowing what to do with information when you get it, knowing what information to pass on, and knowing how to value the result'.
Throughout the history of IIM, IIM has focused on business, operational and policy issues relating to the information environments within which organisations operate. In 2007, IIM will be dealing with and discussing the ways organisations handle their information resources, examining “leading practices” in Information Management, and focussing on how Information Professionals can position their organisations to make best use of their information assets.
This year, the IIM ACT Branch is honoured to be able to expand its one day annual conference to a three day IIM National Conference.
The IIM National Conference 2007 will continue IIM’s efforts from 2006 exploring the theme “Managing Information Today and Tomorrow”. The focus this year will be around Process, People and Technology – key dimensions of the information management discipline. The presentations and workshops will discuss issues of access to information, efficient use of information resources, barriers to the quality of information and how information supports the evolution of business processes. The IIM National Conference 2007 conference will be presenting a range of relevant and contemporary topics, including:
- Business Process Improvement
- Information Quality
- Monitoring corporate performance, addressing the issues of Governance, Risk and Compliance
- The nexus between new Knowledge Management practices and Information Management
- Business Applications such as Enterprise Resource Planning tools for record keeping
- e-Permanence
- e-mail management – controlling the chaos
- Measuring the business value of Business Intelligence
- Enterprise Search – discovery of structured and unstructured information.
