Functional Group Level Information Modeling



Shown in the above are some of the example top-level functional group folders. As you dive into the functional group level folders, you will start to identify the following three types of sub-folders:

• Cross Functional
• Sub-Groups
• Group Level Specific

Cross Functional folders or containers are for capturing the information assets that are produced as the result of collaborative efforts and processes that happen within the functional group. Sub-Groups folders can be created to capture the contents of the child-level groups of that functional group. For example, IT group may further be divided into sub-groups such as desktop application team, infrastructure team, process management team, etc. Group Level Specific folders can be created to capture any information assets that are specific to that group. (e.g. Quarterly Goals, ECM Business Guideline Document, etc.)

For the upcoming blog post, I am planning on producing a video blog that features the 3-D view of Information Model. Let me know if you have any questions or feedback!  ¶ 3/25/2008
