GM Information Strategy Priority Setting - Missions 4, 5 & 6 (in-person)

**This workshop explores Missions 4,5 and 6, and will take place in-person. If you want to take part online or attend any of the other workshops, you can do so **

The Greater Manchester Information Strategy was adopted in January 2022 by the Greater Manchester Information Board, the Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA), and the ten boroughs of Greater Manchester. It supports the Greater Manchester Strategy, and the creation of a greener, fairer and more prosperous city-region by creating a better information ecosystem.

The Information Strategy has six missions:

1. Foster trust between the people, communities, and businesses of Greater Manchester through greater transparency.
2. Promote and maintain the responsible and ethical use of information.
3. Establish inclusive and proactive governance to drive the strategy.
4. Enhance the skills, capabilities, and behaviours for good information management.
5. Develop and implement the tools, infrastructure and standards needed to manage and use information properly.
6. Create an information governance framework for Greater Manchester that acts together as one.

Greater Manchester now needs to develop a plan to achieve these missions. During the last part of 2022 an open consultation identified the actions needed for these missions to be achieved.

We now need to prioritise these actions. Open Data Manchester is running a series of virtual and in-person workshops so that the people, communities and businesses within Greater Manchester can have their say in what actions should be prioritised.

There will be three sets of workshops that will take place online and in-person covering the following missions:

Mission 1

• Online: Monday 13 February 2023, 1-3pm
• In-person: Wednesday 15 February 2023, 1-3pm

Missions 2 & 3

• Online: Tuesday 28 February 2023, 1-3pm
• In-person: Wednesday 1 March 2023, 1-3pm

Missions 4, 5 & 6

• Online: Thursday 2 March 2023, 10am-12pm
• In-person: Friday 3 March 2023, 1-3pm.

Online workshops will take place via Zoom.

In-person workshops will take place at Holyoake House, Hanover Street, Manchester, M60 0AS. Holyoake House is less than a two-minute walk away from Manchester Victoria Station, with nearby bus and tram links, as well as car parking spaces (NPC).

Participants have the option of attending either the virtual event or the in-person event for each Mission. This is so we can hear opinions from as many voices as possible.

We aim to make our events as accessible as possible so if you have any specific accessibility or support requirements, please get in touch.

After registering for the event, you will receive instructions on how to join the session but if you have any questions, email [email protected].
