Elements of an Information Management Framework

Abstract

Frameworks support the realization of goals. Information management is essential in all sectors in today's environment. It is essential to establish an information management framework to guide the realization of the goal of information management in different sectors. Information Management Frameworks (IMFs) are scanty and are designed for specific contexts leading to difficulty in thinking when developing and evaluating IMFs in sectors that want to streamline their information management practices. Documented IMFs were reviewed to establish elements of an underlying information management framework. The findings show that people, processes & practices, technology, budget, leadership, facilities and facilitation, and rules & regulations are essential elements.
