Information Quality Management 2010

Poor information quality costs organizations ten to twenty percent of total sales or revenue in the form of process failure and “information scrap and rework.” These costs are real and direct costs equivalent to manufacturing scrap and rework. Lost and missed opportunity costs as a result of poor information quality can be even greater than that. You learn the quality principles that must be applied to both Business processes and information systems processes to achieve effective Business performance. You learn how to measure and improve Information Quality to reclaim the lost profits of poor quality information. This course provides guidelines for implementing a Total Information Quality Management (TIQMÒ) environment to create a “Center of Excellence” and sustain an Information Quality environment for Business effectiveness. W. Edwards Deming’s 14 Points of Quality provide the basis for defining an information Quality Management environment. You learn management techniques for implementing sustainable information quality improvement. Illustrations show leading-edge Best Practices that result in Business effectiveness and competitive advantage.
