Consultant Information Management
Digital Transformation - Zoetermeer
What are you going to do as Consultant information management?
As an Information management consultant, you advise clients on the effective and responsible use of their information systems and how to organize and manage them. You assist clients in configuring and strategically steering their IT to maximize its contribution to their organizational goals. This means analyzing the functioning of the IT organization, IT processes, and IT management at clients. Based on this analysis, you provide advice on the governance that fits the goals and characteristics of the organization, including the necessary roles for optimal IT support during their digital transformation.
In this role, you bridge the gap between business and IT, clearly highlighting the challenges faced by both. You can act as an analyst, specialist, process manager, or information manager. It is a varied position where you perform different roles for multiple clients. Due to your broad skill set, you work alongside various specialists from the client and colleagues from Highberg.
"Digitalization brings so many opportunities, and it's fantastic to help organizations make good use of them. The colleagues at Highberg share the same mindset, and the combination of our expertise allows us to come up with the best solutions for our clients together."

What is our vision on information management?
Information provision forms the heart of many organizations. IT applications must always be available, and data must deliver reliable management and accountability information for strategic decisions. Increasing demands from legislation, regulations, and ethical considerations play a crucial role in shaping information provision.
Our clients are at the center of society and often use IT applications for collaboration with partners, making these applications valuable for customers and citizens. As a result, our advice often has a direct societal impact. Organizations need to add value and act responsibly. Effective information provision is an essential link in this process. We understand this value and connect various disciplines, approaching information provision with the questions: 'What is possible, what is permissible, and what is desirable?' In this way, we contribute to an information provision that supports the success of societal organizations.
