Get started, then keep going, on information strategy
Tuesday, 11th January 2022
Two simple actions can help you make progress with information strategy in 2022: getting started and keeping going. Information managers we know are ready to share seemingly small changes that make a difference. Jinfo currently has a full slate of clients engaged in this work, but we’re looking ahead – can you do more to help yourself make 2022 a success?
Big ideas move forward with small steps
Wednesday, 15th December 2021
With a clear path ahead for the New Year, it’s time for big ideas: this time next year, when you reflect on 2022, what do you want to have accomplished? Several Jinfo clients are working on some big ideas in information strategy, shared in our latest short video. Remind yourself how small steps make big ideas work.
There's no information strategy without stakeholder engagement
Wednesday, 1st December 2021
Running an information service is, it’s been said, primarily a sales job – a constant drive to sell the value that information strategy provides to your organisation. Stakeholder engagement is vital: you need to understand what stakeholders need, and implement a strategy to make it happen. Let Jinfo help you master the approach you need to move the relationship in the right direction.

Far from a cost to be contained, licensed information products are in fact essential to core capabilities, leveraging knowledge, strengthening capabilities and enabling faster commercialisation.

Discover the power... of a well-chosen hat
