We're running a survey on how information managers think about and execute on the concept of "visibility".

Responses to date already demonstrate great diversity in focus, covering all three supports of the three-legged stool: technology, content and user behaviour.

Take 5 minutes to complete the survey and receive a free copy of the final report.

The survey is part of the recently launched Topic Series "Making Information Visible". Register your interest in the Series for immediate (free) access to our preview report, plus regular updates about resources through the end of the series in March.

The latest Subscription Update highlights the first articles and reports included in "Making Information Visible", plus:

• A Webinar on "User Behaviour and Visibility" (plus two more coming within a week)
  
  
• Scheduling for four upcoming Communities of Practice sessions, both in-person and via teleconference
  
  
• Preview of a developing Consulting project, on articulating the IT resources and capabilities essential to a strategic information centre.

"FreePint's COPs and webinar series work well. The format is good. The pre-reading and primed/themed questions give guidance to the session and there is enough time for participation. The COPs create a good forum for open discussion with peers. Hearing how others are dealing with specific challenges can provoke new ideas, help clarify thinking and occasionally provide a level of confidence in pursuing a particular approach. Access to an interactive session like a FreePint COP provides a rare opportunity to connect with peers globally."
