Introduction• As organizations grow, data volume and
complexity increases exponentially. More and more interactions with your data from different departments and data managers compound the challenges.
• An integrated, enterprise-wide approach is necessary to ensure the performance, quality, sustainability and scalability of new and existing information (Adastragrp) .
• Hence the need for IM (importance of IM). • This implies that IM in organizations must be business-driven

IM is vital because of the…
• Exploding digital universe: The rate of information growth is increasing exponentially. Duplication of data to ensure high availability has also contributed to increase of information growth
• Increasing dependency on information: strategic use of information plays an important role in determining success of a business and provides competitive advantages in marketplace
• Changing value of information: Information that is valuable today may become less important tomorrow. value of information often changes over time

INFORMATION MANAGEMENT (IM)CHALLENGES
• Lack of Coordination : The large number of disparate information management systems with little or no coordination between the information systems.
• For instance, Managers acquire a system solely for the payroll which can not be coordinated with the Human Resource System
Lecturer: F. O. Entsua-Mensah (Mrs)11
![Page 12: INFORMATION MANAGEMENT (IM)INFORMATION MANAGEMENT (IM) CHALLENGES •Lack of Coordination : The large number of disparate information management systems with little or no coordination](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022011919/601c001793277f65fa351aed/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
IM Challenges Cont’d.
•Quality of Information:• Poor Content:
• Lack of consistency• Duplication • out-dated information
Lecturer: F. O. Entsua-Mensah (Mrs)12

• Limited resources for deploying, managing or improving information systems is another challenge with information management.
•Organizations need a lot of money to be able to acquire, manage and maintain the information flow
Lecturer: F. O. Entsua-Mensah (Mrs)13
IM Challenges Cont’d.

Limited and patchy adoption of existing information systems : This arises when inadequate training is given and employees do not have a feeling of
owning the information system.
Difficulties in changing working practices : this is a cultural issue that needs to be worked on gradually for staff to accept any new changes in the organization.
Lecturer: F. O. Entsua-Mensah (Mrs)14

MANAGING THE CHALLENGES
• Staff participation - Information management systems are only successful if they are actually used by staff and it is not sufficient to simply focus on installing the software centrally. The staff are the ones who actually make it work or a reality.
Lecturer: F. O. Entsua-Mensah (Mrs)15

Managing the Challenges Cont’d
•Manage Complexities - Managers must stop looking for simple approaches, and must stop believing vendors when they offer very large suite of applications which they claim can be used to solve all information management problems at once.
Lecturer: F. O. Entsua-Mensah (Mrs)16

•Delivering tangible and visible benefits Information management projects must always be designed so that they deliver tangible and visible benefits. The projects should also target issues or
needs that are very visible within the organization.
When solutions are delivered, the improvement should be obvious, and widely promoted throughout the organization
Lecturer: F. O. Entsua-Mensah (Mrs)17

• Mitigate Risks Risk relating to:
Integrating systems Failure to gain adoption by staff
This might be mitigated through: conducting pilot projects to
identifying issues and potential solutions.

• Extensive communication - This is critical for a successful information management initiative. This communication ensures that staff have a clear understanding of the project and the benefits it will deliver.

• Seamless user experience - Users do not understand systems.
Educating staff on the purpose and use of information systems may be difficult, and generally fruitless.
There will always be a need to have multiple information systems, but the information contained within them should be presented such that accessibility is through one ‘log in’.
This could mean delivering a single intranet (or equivalent) that gives access to all information and tools; ensuring a consistent look-and-feel across all applications

OIM Cont’dManaging information in an organization, requires some dimensions. These are:
• Information inflows• what information describes • information granularity • how information is used
Lecturer: F. O. Entsua-Mensah (Mrs)31

Information Inflows
• This occurs in four directions in an organization:• upward• downward• horizontally • Outward
Lecturer: F. O. Entsua-Mensah (Mrs)32
![Page 33: INFORMATION MANAGEMENT (IM)INFORMATION MANAGEMENT (IM) CHALLENGES •Lack of Coordination : The large number of disparate information management systems with little or no coordination](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022011919/601c001793277f65fa351aed/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Information Inflows con’t
Upward flow of information• Information that is gathered as a part of
everyday operations is consolidated by information technology and passed upward to decision makers.
• This describes the current state of the organization based on its daily transactions.
Lecturer: F. O. Entsua-Mensah (Mrs)33

Information Inflows con’t
•downward flow of information • consists of the strategies, goals and
directives that originate at one level and are passed to lower levels.
•Horizontal flow of information• Information flow between functional
business units and work teams. • Eg: from one HOD to another or Unit to Unit

Information Inflows con’t
• Outward flow of information • Consists of information that is communicated to
customers, suppliers, distributors or other partners for the purpose of doing business.

Information Granularity con’t.
• Strategic Level deal mainly with a coarse granularity or highly summarized information.
• Lowest Levels of the organization need information with fine granularity.
