Information systems coordination (ISCO)
Typically within a large organisation in which the information strategy function is devolved to autonomous units, or within a collaborative enterprise of otherwise independent organisations, the coordination of information strategy matters where the adoption of a common approach (such as shared services) would benefit the organisation.
Level 6 Maintains an awareness of the global needs of the organisation and promotes the benefits that a common approach to IT deployment will bring to the business as a whole, among information strategy and business management. Coordinates the promotion, development, acquisition and implementation of information systems and services in close liaison with those responsible for management and strategy.
Level 7 Establishes, maintains and communicates the organisation’s strategy for managing information and the policies, standards, procedures and methods necessary to implement the strategy. Coordinates the promotion, development, acquisition and implementation of information systems and represents information strategy issues on behalf of the entire organisation with general management and external bodies.
