A Bit of Strategy with a Practical Bent, Every Month
Jinfo Blog

By Robin Neidorf

Abstract

FreePint introduces a new opportunity to participate in Communities of Practice sessions through monthly teleconferences focusing on strategy.

Item

We've expanded the opportunities to participate in our Communities of Practice sessions. A standing session, scheduled for the third Wednesday of the month, is devoted to working through trends, concepts, and challenges affecting information strategy.

As always, we develop these sessions with our unique blend of underlying research, facilitated discussion, and practical outputs you can adapt to your own environment.

Sessions now scheduled include:

• Make the Most of Your Organisation's Reporting Structure, 17th February 
• Sources, Technology, Value - What You Can "Own" and What You Can Influence, 16th March
• The Information Team with "The Right Stuff", 20th April
• Key Relationships: IT, Procurement, Legal, HR, 18th May

...with more to come.

All sessions listed above are run via teleconference. They are designed with information managers in mind, but are also open to sellers of information products and services. To preserve anonymity of participants in these confidential settings, CoP sessions are not recorded.

Make Time for Essential Strategic Thinking

One of the hardest aspects of today's work environment is how difficult it can be to make time for strategic thinking. A standing monthly session, rooted in research and offering dialogue with colleagues without needing to leave your desk, offers support that's otherwise difficult to get.

Participants in past sessions have had this to say:

• "I loved the experience and truly felt inspired. My experience with the FreePint Communities of Practice session has gotten me to think in ways I've never thought before. It was a nice way to get out of my work rut of putting out fires and be reminded of the bigger picture of my purpose" -- Manager, Information Services; Manufacturing Company

• "I found the session really interesting and definitely feel I have a clearer idea now of how we can start tackling this perennial issue from different angles. I particularly like the table that filters it all down so well – this will be a good one to print out and put on my desk!" -- Executive, Research Team; Global Business Advisory Firm
