Learning
In an effort to make “Learning” more focused on the specific needs of our membership, we have reviewed our course offerings and launched a completely new programme for the next 12 months. The new programme offers a wider range of course, at more locations, and with more detail provided on each, to help you judge better who to nominate for the course, and the likely benefits to be achieved from it.
Enterprise architecture as a key element of the ICT strategy
The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC) uses Enterprise Architecture Principles as a key component of their IS/ICT strategy.
Managing information - your greatest asset
Making the right information available in the right format at the right time to the right people inside and outside the organisation is vital to efficiency. Information Management combines many difficult challenges, but getting it right brings huge benefits.
Information architectures
"Information structures using techniques like Service- Oriented and Enterprise Architecture to ensure information is ‘held once, used many times’"
GIS & LLPG strategy and implementation
The project issues
Development of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and the Local Land and Property Gazetteer (LLPG) at Thurrock Council has historically been technology-led with no corporate strategy linked to key Council objectives and goals. From 2002 GIS grew ‘organically’ with little or no senior or middle management support and, once key individuals left the Council, developments, management and projects were not progressed. In particular there was no integrated or co-ordinated approach to GIS and LLPG within and between departments and key business systems were not spatially enabled and so not being utilised to their maximum potential.
