Jinfo Staging Research Focus: Developing an information-savvy workforce through strategic alignments

Developing an information-savvy workforce through strategic alignments

Jinfo Research Focus
April - June 2017

Information skills are required at every level of an organisation. Yet rarely are these skills included in formal workforce development strategies. Nearly every information centre struggles with sub-optimal visibility of its expertise; nearly every organisation suffers from inefficiencies and missed opportunities around information.

The resources we've published and planned for this Research Focus

This Research Focus, which ran from April to June 2017, is designed to help you place information skills firmly on the strategic agenda for workforce development.

The must-read findings and actions from this Focus are:

Three things are missing from your efforts to develop information skills
You are under-using your best opportunity to develop an information-savvy workforce
Strategic and sustainable improvements in workforce information skills require alignment with HR.

Each of these key insights is discussed in the Insights and Actions Report from the Research Focus "Developing an information-savvy workforce through strategic alignments", along with actions you can take to work towards alignment.
