Information professionals use a range of technical tools in their daily activities within information organizations. What tools, though, do we use to align the direction of our units with those of our parent organizations, and how do we communicate appropriately and strategically with stakeholders?
The workshop covers the components of four practical yet critical tools and invites participants to discuss:
- Strategic Planning
- Information Audits
- Business Cases
- Communication Plans
Participants have the opportunity to take away:
- an understanding of the roles of, and relationship between, the tools
- guidelines for documenting user and organizational needs
- insight into the need to “speak to decision maker motivations” as opposed to stressing “what we believe”
- pointers how to use the tools in planning, managing, and communicating
