IMP II Certification

Advanced Practitioner Certification – Level II

Course Overview

The Information Management Practitioner Level II (IMP II) is the advanced practitioner certification of the Institute of Information Management (IIM) Professional Global Network. It develops the deep specialist competencies that distinguish the experienced information management professional: designing sophisticated information architectures, governing digital preservation programmes, leading data governance initiatives, and operating at the intersection of information management and enterprise analytics.

Where the IMP I practitioner learns to design and implement governance frameworks, the IMP II practitioner governs complex, multi-system information environments: developing ontologies and advanced taxonomies aligned to ISO 25964, designing digital preservation programmes using the OAIS Reference Model (ISO 14721), governing Master Data Management programmes, applying data lineage governance to analytical platforms, and leading knowledge management strategy across the enterprise.

This programme is aligned to the DAMA-DMBOK2 data management framework, ISO 25964 thesaurus standards, ISO 14721 OAIS digital preservation model, and ISO 30401:2018 knowledge management requirements, with case studies drawn from complex organisational environments across African and international contexts.

Upon successful completion, candidates are recognised as Information Management Practitioners Level II by the Institute of Information Management (IIM) and are eligible for the PMIIM (Professional Member) membership grade.

 

Learning Objectives

By the end of this certification programme, participants will be able to:

  • Design a multi-level information architecture for a complex enterprise, distinguishing between taxonomies, thesauri, and ontologies
  • Develop a controlled vocabulary aligned to ISO 25964, including preferred terms, non-preferred terms, and hierarchical, associative, and equivalence relationships
  • Design a digital preservation programme aligned to the OAIS Reference Model (ISO 14721), applying appropriate preservation strategies for different file types and risk profiles
  • Specify PREMIS preservation metadata requirements and design a fixity checking programme for a digital archive
  • Apply DAMA-DMBOK2 principles to govern an enterprise data environment across multiple knowledge areas
  • Design and implement a Master Data Management programme, selecting an appropriate MDM architecture
  • Govern data lineage and manage a data catalogue for enterprise metadata management
  • Design a data quality measurement programme producing metrics across all six quality dimensions
  • Apply knowledge management strategy using the Nonaka SECI model to design knowledge capture, transfer, and retention programmes
  • Design and facilitate communities of practice as organisational knowledge management assets
  • Govern business intelligence and analytics platforms from an information management governance perspective
  • Deliver an IM programme performance report for senior executive audiences
