What are the consequences of an organization not having an information policy?

Post your response below and respond to at least one other student’s post. 

this is the student post i want you to reply to” If a company does not have an information policy, the simply have no control of how the data they collect is used, and cannot legally use it efficiently. The scale of the repercussions will depend on the type of business that they are as well as the size of the business.  For example, if it’s a data centric business, then they have lost the core of their business and will surely get run over by a competitor soon enough. However, if it is a non data centric business, some major consequences would possibly include other businesses not wanting to work with them, a loss of credibility, and penalties from data security regulators. Other less serious consequences that not having an information policy would entail would be an overall loss of organization in the respect of data, the company would have to establish to their customers what exactly they were doing with their information without the policy, which could result in legal problems“

Case Study: Transforming the Organization 

Use the Week 5 Case Study Template to complete this assignment. 

Congratulations! The executives are taking your information system proposal seriously. In fact, they think it has the potential to transform the way the organization works.

The CIO asked you to read Too Much of a Good Thing to think about what resources you will need to get your new information system up and running. Please also review the five case studies in The Leader’s Role in Managing Change so you can recommend a change management pattern for your company to follow. 

Write a memo to the CIO that describes how to implement your information system into the organization. Please focus on these topics:

1. How much of the implementation work can you handle? What additional resources (people, information, time, money, etc.) will expedite the process so you don’t end up like Susie Jeffer?
2. What is your change management strategy? Provide an outline. Consider:      
   • What new equipment and software are necessary?
   • What training and support will the staff need?
   • How will the staff complete their work during the transition period?
   • Do you anticipate other areas of resistance?

The CIO is very skeptical, so provide evidence that your assessment is accurate and complete. It can be difficult to admit to personal limitations!

Your memo should be 3–5 pages long.
