Information Revolution

By: Michael Upton Karl Melrose Judi Vernau
  • Summary

  • Every fortnight Karl, Judi and Michael get together to discuss topics in information management practice that are relevant for today and the future. We’ll bring in other industry insiders to talk about what they’re doing, and how their practice is changing. Information management in government is in the midst of a long term transition. To be successful now and in the future, we have to be active participants in the day-to-day business of our organisations and in the design of the information resources that our organisations use. If we get this right, the next big gains in productivity and public good will come from us. It’s a revolution in information management – and we want everyone to be part of it. Hosted by Karl Melrose, Judi Vernau (Metataxis NZ) and Michael Upton (Metataxis NZ).

  • Ask a solution architect II: Attack of the Kearns
    Nov 21 2024

    Welcome back to our guest Adrian Kearns! We thought last episode was fruitful enough that we should go another round. Testable strategy, learning how to influence, and more.

    A couple of bonus blog posts from Adrian you should definitely read:

  • Ask a solution architect with Adrian Kearns
    Nov 7 2024

    As part of an occasional series trying to join some dots between information management, information architecture, and other professions, we invited Adrian Kearns to come in and talk about what he does, the kinds of problems architects try and solve, and some of the ways he tries to go about it.

    While Michael battles with a touch of the laggy video, we have some good discussion about throwing technology at something that isn't a technology problem, the good ol' Five Whys technique, loose coupling, and more!

  • Libraries, knowledge bases and records
    Oct 24 2024

    A free-ranging* conversation about the value of establishing a library or knowledge base of authoritative information than people want to access and can trust!

    We touch on everything from shifting the focus of our practice towards getting people the right info, through Conway's Law and the DMBOK, to the persistent value of knowing what problems we're even trying to solve.

    * No, that's not a euphemism for completely without focus!
