The second insight in our Research Focus, "Creating an Information Centre of Excellence", names the six most important characteristics for your team to embody - for success today and sustainability into the future. It's not enough to have talent, skills and experience with information.

The most successful information teams are those with:

• Commercial awareness
• Executive-ready communications skills
• A continuous-improvement mindset.

For the other three characteristics and more details on this insight, register your interest and receive our insights in your inbox. You'll get practical tips and suggestions for:

• Assessing the strengths and weaknesses of your current team
• Developing a plan to cultivate the characteristics of success.

The way information skills are applied and valued in today's organisations is very different from what it was 10 years ago, or even 5 years ago.

Jinfo's research describes what makes an Information Centre of Excellence. Without the right characteristics, your team will struggle for relevance, visibility and a seat at the table when strategy and mission-critical projects are under consideration.
