Independent advice on Information and Knowledge Management
We support organisations in bringing information under control. IM provides a basis for reducing costs and exploiting information for competitive advantage.
We can advise on information risks, such as how to comply with legal and regulatory requirements, and to retain the right information for contractual reasons.
Loss of knowledge can be a concern, for example when restructuring, merging, downsizing or just planning for staff to retire or leave.
