Tomorrow I am co-hosting a first EIM workshop in a series of three. Today I worked on the hypotheses for the scan, this means putting into words what it means for an information domain to be in a specific maturity level. An information domain can be ‘customer information’ or ‘expertise knowledge’. The domains that are included in the EIM scan are specific for each organisation as they depend on strategy. Another aspect that is very important in this workshop is a clear view on the proces and information flow. I worked up some examples for 5 process flows to be discussed tomorrow. A colleague of mine will be present as well to work on infographics of these flows.
My main concern is how to capture all valuable input during the workshop 
Today I spent the morning preparing for a new customer engagement. The engagement was not sure when I started but the OK came later in the afternoon. Preparation focussed on a workshop format to build an infographic about business processes, information flows and systems. In the afternoon I had to move some appointments around in order to fit an important preparation meeting. I really dislike doing this for a number of reasons but for this time I actually was happy to do so!
In the afternoon I spent some time with a projectteam preparing a number of scenarios to fix some performance issues. We did a nice job on the scenarios and are ready to discuss them next thursday. When I got home I had to wrap up all scenarios in a nice document to share with the rest of the projectteam. In between I went out for a little run to clear my head. After the run I did some final work on the document.
It is always nice to see so many coworkers active on Skype (I am not sure if I like the bid from Microsoft on the company…) even late at night and I had two chats. The first on the document I was working on and the other one was concerning some business development.
Tomorrow is a big day for VLC when the EIM2011 event takes place!
