Training Session: Introduction to IM - a Refresher

This refresher course is designed for those who have attended one of our introductory information management courses – either Introducing IM for Local Authorities, or Introduction to IM for non-Local Authorities.

The course provides a refresher on core IM concepts, and the legal environment we work in. We also explore common IM challenges and ways they can be addresses, relating to the ways in which we organise and manage our information, use electronic document management systems, digitisation, and, management non-current information and disposal. Throughout the sessions we also talk about the ways in which good information management supports the overall functions and goals of our organisations.

The course is divided into four modules of 90 minutes each. Each module is delivered online with its own workbook which is sent out to participants beforehand. There is also a small amount of homework to be done between modules to support learning.
