Become an IMI supporter
Many organisations already recognise the environmental, social and business benefits and competitive advantages to be gained from adoption of information and data management best practices.
To support the Information Management Initiative (IMI) and to help extend awareness, interest and adoption of the IMI, nima is seeking supporters from across the sector (clients, funders, contractors, consultants, manufacturers, suppliers, technology providers, regulators, etc).
Rather than funding the IMI, supporters commit people to help the IMI and its supporting framework develop. Recognised by the IMI as industry leaders backing digital transformation, they may badge themselves as IMI supporters, and will be promoted at events and in IMI supporting materials.
Supporters will also lead by example, mandating the IMI to their own people, achieving compliance with its principles, and promoting it to other organisations with whom they collaborate.
Supporter’s first steps
As a first step, supporters will – at a C-suite level – be expected to:
- Commit, appropriately and proportionately to the best of their ability, to enabling and supporting the principle of digitally transforming the whole of the built and managed environment by better through-life management of its data and information.
- Regard the aims of optimising value, health and safety, productivity, social, economic and environmental benefit across the built and managed environment as the key outcomes for embracing the IMI.
- Move to understand why it is important to know:
- The purpose of the data and information.
- What data and information are needed.
- Where to store the data and information.
- How the data and information is shared and used.
- Who has access to the data and information.
- How the data and information are maintained.
- Provide appropriate support resource (to be discussed with the IMI management team).
