Strategic Information Management: Enhancing Organizational Efficiency through Effective Data Governance and Digital Transformation

Abstract

This study explores the impact of strategic information management (SIM) on enhancing organizational efficiency through effective data governance and digital transformation. Utilizing a qualitative approach, the research employs literature review and library research to analyze existing theories, models, and case studies related to SIM, data governance, and digital transformation. The findings reveal that organizations leveraging strategic information management can significantly improve decision-making processes, operational efficiency, and overall agility. Effective data governance, a critical component of SIM, ensures the integrity, security, and accessibility of data, which is essential for driving digital transformation. In turn, digital transformation enables organizations to adapt to rapidly changing market conditions, foster innovation, and optimize resource allocation. By integrating robust data governance frameworks with digital initiatives, organizations can streamline workflows, reduce operational risks, and improve data-driven decision-making. This study emphasizes the importance of leadership commitment, organizational culture, and the alignment of technology with business goals to maximize the benefits of SIM. The insights provided by this research contribute to a deeper understanding of how strategic information management, through the integration of data governance and digital transformation, can serve as a catalyst for achieving sustainable competitive advantage and organizational resilience in today’s digital economy. Future research should focus on developing practical frameworks and exploring industry-specific applications of SIM to further enhance its effectiveness in diverse organizational settings.
