Although Information Assets (IAs) are generally regarded as important, many organisations still do not manage their IAs with the same discipline and rigour as they manage their other assets. Information professionals often fail to justify to senior executives that they should support and provide funding for the governance and management of IAs. This is mostly because they either do not have access to executives, and/or because do not articulate the cost, value or benefit of the IAs to the executive in business terms. Information professionals should not merely illustrate the WHAT and HOW of the work they’re doing.

They should provide the WHY (‘what’s in it for me’) for executives to understand and value their work and to invest in the governance and management of Information Assets. Providing a holistic understanding of the significant business impacts related to the governance and management of the organisation’s Information Assets will provide the WHY. In this presentation the findings of University-Industry collaborative research to create a holistic view of the business impacts and their measures, will be shared.
