Open Governmentand Strategic Information Management
The Government of Alberta is a trusted steward of information held on behalf of Albertans. Government of Alberta Vision for Information Management information is: collected once; managed digitally in an open and secure environment; accessible; and used to its fullest potential.
Information Management:Current and Future States VS CURRENT STATE FUTURE STATE (VISION) Information is collected multiple times, by multiple people within multiple departments. Information is collected once. Lack of information governance leaves a void that results in individual departments, divisions, units, etc. all working on different pieces of the same problem. Information is managed digitally in an open and secure environment. Information is stored in multiple locations and formats. Information is difficult to access and is often recollected and recreated. Information is accessible, and used its fullest potential. The lack of rigour in our collection and management of information increases risks.
