PHIGs IMC is a vendor neutral information governance and management consultancy based in Western Canada. Hey! “What’s the difference between governance and management, man?” you may ask. Simple – governance is about policies, management is about procedures. Put another way, governance is what you gotta do, management is how you do it.
“I’ve heard the Information Governance thing talked about. What does it mean?” There’s a bunch of valid definitions of Info Gov out there, but since every dog has to mark the tree: Information governance is all the rules, regulations, legislation, standards, and policies with which organizations need to comply when they create, share, and use information. Governance is mandated internally and externally.
We help organizations get the most out of their information (which may or may not be their second most valuable resource). We do this by focusing on value rather than risk, though the importance of risk is not ignored. We just figure if you’re thorough about the value side you’ll take care of a lot of the risk stuff as a result. To help get things sorted out I developed the Principles of Holistic Information Governance (PHIGs – hence the name of the company).
Our primary services are helping organizations implement Enterprise Content Management (ECM) solutions and sorting out their Information Architecture (IA). Proper implementation guidance and IA are critical to ECM and Information Governance/Management success. Take a look at our services page for more information about stuff we do.
