Built Environment: Understanding the Information Management Initiative (IMI) and IMI Framework

Supporting better information management across the built environment

Information management underpins safer, more efficient and more consistent outcomes across the built environment. Yet many organizations are still unclear on what the Information Management Initiative (IMI) is, how it works, and how the IMI Framework supports it.

In this upcoming webinar, Dr Anne Kemp OBE, Chair of nima, Fellow and Technical Director at AtkinsRéalis, and Dan Rossiter, Built Environment Sector Lead at BSI, will give you a clear, practical overview of the IMI and IMIF. They will highlight key progress to date and explain the direction of travel for both initiatives.

You will leave with a stronger understanding of how these initiatives support better information management using BIM, and where you can play a role in supporting adoption across the built environment.
