There are four members of the Improving Information Sharing and Management (IISaM) project team.
“I am the Project Manager for the National Exemplar for Improving Information Sharing and Management (IISaM). Previously I have worked within a number of Councils (Bolton, Wandsworth, Cleveland County and Trafford), Police Service (Greater Manchester Police), Fire and Rescue Service (Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service) and University (Manchester Metro University). This has beeen in the fields of Knowledge and Information Management, Research and Training. I also chair the Local Egovt standards body (LeGSB) and I-network Information Shairng and Security group. My hobbies include sport and viewing historic buildings Overall I am confident that this project and toolkit will assist appropriate informtion sharing which importantly improves outcomes for the people we serve. “
“I am the Project Officer based in Bradford Council. I have come to this role via the Regional Development Agency – Yorkshire Forward where I developed and implemented regional and local projects to support economic inclusion with a range of partners. Information Sharing and Management presents a new challenge for me where I hope to help partners locally to build trust and confidence to share their information effectively. By working across different agencies I hope to develop the tools to support information sharing in the future.”
“I am the Project Officer based in Greater Manchester and have arrived here via Information Sharing and Management in Salford Children’s Services, project management at the University of Manchester and most recently coding up the census so we can all update our projections. Ever the optimist and ready to see the best in every situation I can be quite annoying but am more that up for the challenge of giving people the tools they need to share information effectively. When not at work I like to sit in the garden and read but I live in Manchester so…”
”I’m the project officer based in Leicestershire. I’ve come to this project from running a membership organisation for regional researchers, and before that, working with the universities in the East Midlands region. When I’m not working on the project, I’ll be reading and writing about data visualisation; or I’ll be outside, hiking, climbing or biking. My hope is that the exemplar will provide a chance for the learning that’s going on in the three areas to be shared around; I also hope I can support Leicestershire in its journey to make things better for the people of the county.”
