How to implement an effective Information Architecture?
Access to information at speed and in real time is undergoing its own Moore’s law but with timelines much divorced from its nanoscale rival in the technology space – perhaps still awaiting the quantum computing leap, enabling decision making in quants units!
Information today needs both categorization and ingestion for neuron networks crunching AI algorithms across data at rest or in motion. So how do we define the right information architecture?
At Usher we use our ACOG framework which helps businesses understand and plan better to achieve the desired outcomes in synch with their business needs. It unclogs an organization’s mental and structural frameworks with actionable insights. The framework follows a comprehensive approach taking data from across the organization covering aspects of Vision, Market / Maturity, Domain, Organization / Operations, Strategies and People in what we call the ViMDOSP approach.
To be able to process data into information and provide the blueprint for an enterprise approach to designing, implementing and managing information requires an adaptive organization as it evolves on its scale of digital maturity. In our observation, this follows Conway’s law where successful outcomes have typically followed lean, aligned organization structures.
An information architecture defines the context that an enterprise uses for its business operations and management. The building blocks of an information architecture are the organization’s applications, business processes, analytics, reporting systems and an aligned workforce which generates and maintains the ubiquitous content / data. Enterprise applications need to use these information architecture models built on a data architecture providing the foundation for collecting, storing, moving, integrating and managing the required data.
A best-in-class information architecture implements data governance processes with supporting master process management and master data management initiatives.
The models at Usher and its team of experts, help deliver on these seemingly challenging goals.
