THE NEW BOARD AGENDA

17. The Hawley Report 1994

18. The board should satisfy itself that it’s own
business is conducted so that:
• The information it uses is sufficient and
necessary for its purpose
• It is properly advised on all information
aspects of subjects on its agenda
• Its own use of information complies with
laws, regulations and recognised ethical
standards

19. The board should determine the organisation’s
policy for information assets….
• Identify assets
• Classify by importance & value
• Manage quality and quantity
• Use assets ethically, in compliance with regulations
• Define roles to manage these assets
• Educate staff to safeguard & enhance assets
• Protect assets from theft, loss, abuse & misuse
• Harness assets for the maximum benefit
• Align information strategy with business strategy

• Would it enable you and your Board to put information
management centre stage?
• Which bodies/groups should we engage in the
updating the original Report?
