Abstract:
Information management is a discipline dealing with creation, communication, utilisation and disposal of information. In the 21st century, the volume of information forces the organisations not only to have formal processes for information management, but also employing effective IT systems to leverage the value of information. This paper introduces a method for improving the process of information management and co-design the business process and IT system to support the information management practice in organisations. This method takes into account stakeholders’ roles and responsibilities, and their needs for information provided by the information management processes. Adopting organisational semiotics as theoretical and methodological foundation, the IT system designed will be adaptable to the changes of requirements due to the changes of the business environment and stakeholders’ interest.
