It helps ensure that information and knowledge services are aligned to critical business needs and it is essential to the development of information and knowledge strategies. This is a highly interactive two day course that looks at the audit process in the context of organisations and helps delegates assess their objectives and select appropriate approaches for an audit in their organisation. A variety of techniques are explored, as are the skills required for a successful audit.

Influencing your stakeholders
Speaker: Elizabeth Lank
As awareness of knowledge and information as strategic assets grows in many organisations, information professionals are working with an ever wider group of stakeholders. It is essential that senior information managers have the skills necessary to influence these stakeholders. From making business cases to senior management to teaching line managers to handle information in new ways to encouraging colleagues to share information across boundaries, communication and change management skills are becoming increasingly important as core competencies.
This one day workshop will offer you a number of tools and techniques to help you increase your ability to influence the stakeholders that matter to you. It will give you the opportunity to explore the challenges of influencing behaviour and culture within an organisation and help you develop your skills as an effective communicator and change agent.

Contract negotiation
Speaker: Pamela Clark
Information managers who have contract negotiation responsibility within their brief are finding it hard to develop the skill set necessary for this demanding task. Companies who operate in the global marketplace rightly want their business deals to reflect that global marketplace in price, content and technology. On the "sell" side local account teams are expected to respond on behalf of their global organisation but within a reward structure that often does not reflect that customer expectation. Successful negotiation of contracts demands a clear understanding of the brief, recognition of the business context and the ability to translate service requirements into specific deliverables. At this crucial stage in the information business it is sometimes difficult to identify the issues in contract negotiation, never mind know how to deal with them. This course offers the opportunity to identify what is happening in the market place and helps you learn some of the necessary skills.
Course fee: GBP295 + VAT

Understanding and researching listed companies
Speaker: Sylvia James
Undertaking excellent research on listed companies is one of the most important areas of business information. It is essential for all business information professionals to understand the whole listing process. Listed companies are generally the largest companies in any country's economy. They are also the companies that are required to disclose the most information, by virtue of the way their shares are offered for sale to the general public, usually through a stock exchange. This course explains the process of listing and examines the current situation in the world stock markets. Explaining shares and bonds, it also looks at corporate failures, then goes on to explore the sources, documents and services that can be used to research any listed company on any stock exchange in the world.
Course fee: GBP295
