Online Short Course | Information Analysis Principles

Description

Records and information professionals are increasingly expected to do more than manage records; they are trusted advisors who help organisations understand their information, manage risk, and improve performance. At the heart of this role is information analysis.

This eLearn introduces the foundational concepts, skills, and techniques needed to analyse information effectively in a records and information management context. The course begins with core analytical principles and builds toward structured analysis techniques that support compliance, efficiency, risk management, and strategic decision-making.

Through practical examples, interactive scenarios, and hands-on activities, learners will explore how information analysis applies to real workplace challenges such as retention compliance issues, workflow inefficiencies, metadata quality problems, and digital transformation planning.

This course is designed to strengthen information professionals’ ability to demonstrate value, support organisational goals, and position information as a strategic asset rather than just a regulatory obligation.
