Information management in the government

There is a gap between policy and ICT. For two days, we will help you become stronger in these areas.

Information management in government is the two-day training of the Supply Value Academy for professionals in public information provision. The training addresses the governance role between policy, implementation, and ICT, and uses the Quality Framework for Information Provision (KWIV) of the Dutch government as a framework for roles and competencies. The training is the only open training in the Netherlands that takes the KWIV as a starting point.

Why this training

Government information provision is the nervous system of implementation, and at the same time the place where policy, ICT, and reality come into sharpest conflict with each other. Those who lead in this area have a wonderful and sometimes lonely job.

This training gives you a grip: on your role (via the KWIV), on the steering of demand and supply, and on the conversations with policy makers, the CIO office and suppliers. Given by consultants who fulfill these management roles themselves at the Dutch government and implementing organizations.

You can do this afterwards

  • You position your role clearly with the KWIV and know what is expected of you (and what is not).
  • You organize demand management: from policy desire to executable IV needs.
  • You take control of suppliers and your own IT organization without having to build the technology yourself.
  • You connect the current events, data-driven work, AI, and information management to your IV agenda.

Target group

Information managers, IV advisors, business information analysts, CIO office staff and functional administrators (growing number) in the Dutch government, implementing organizations, provinces and municipalities.

Previous knowledge: work experience in or around public information provision.

Program

  • The IV playing field of the government: who does what (and who thinks that)
  • The KWIV as a support structure: roles, competencies and your place within them
  • Questioning in practice: from vague policy wishes to clear needs
  • Case studies from the participants' current affairs
  • Managing ICT suppliers and shared service organizations: directing without ownership
  • Portfolio considerations: everything matters, so what matters most?
  • AI and data-driven work in the public context: opportunities within constraints
  • Your IV agenda for the coming year, reviewed by the group

Frequently asked questions

Yes. The KWIV comes from the Dutch government, but the roles and issues are largely the same for municipalities and provinces. The examples come from the full spectrum of the public sector.

No, it’s a briefing session. You don’t need to be an architect or developer; you’re actually learning how to build robust information systems without using technology.
