nima Member

Through individual nima membership, you will be making an important commitment to improving information management in organisations and projects across the built and natural environment. You will be signing up to our core principles (reflecting those in the Information Management Initiative) which include:

• Recognise the whole life purpose of information and data: Identify the relevance and purposes of data and information to improve organisational and project outcomes. Consider an asset as both the physical structure and the data and information held to manage it.
• Upskill people in information management: Establish basic digital literacy as an organisational minimum requirement, make relevant data and information management skills part of individuals’ continual professional development, and recognise and empower ‘IM leadership’.
• Take a common, consistent and data-centric approach:  Converge on a common framework to define, procure, deliver, store and use interoperable data and information, and incorporate a data and information architecture relevant to the organisation and its collaborators.
• Establish clear data and information governance principles: Adopt clear approaches on stewardship, ethics, quality, security, interoperability, longevity, openness and integrity of data and information. Enable sharing and easy use of the right data and information at the right time and in the right structure by considering data and information independently from technology.

Simply complete your annual membership registration and payment, to confirm your acceptance of nima's principles, automatically receive this badge, which will be displayed on your profile to showcase your active support of the community.

Maintenance Requirements Keep your badge active by maintaining your annual membership subscription, ensuring continuous support for the community and ongoing access to member benefits.
