Abstract:

Statistical organizations are at risk of losing corporate memory as a result of demographics, changes in organizational behaviors and in particular the advent of electronic information. In this context, the effective management of information holdings becomes a strategic element in capturing and sharing institutional memory. This paper proposes a classification of broad categories of information that are relevant for information management in a national statistical institute and provides examples of the application of this framework in Statistics Canada.
