Contemporary organizations are producing and storing more information then ever before in history. The resulting information overload, combined with the lack of quality assurance for information management, has led to a questionable state of information quality in many organizations. Furthermore, assessing, enhancing, and managing information quality has proven to be a notoriously difficult undertaking. This paper presents a capability maturity model approach for information quality management process assessment and improvement. The paper first presents a set of criteria, as identified from extensive literature review and exploratory case studies, which are thought to be of importance when considering a holistic approach for information quality management. The paper then presents the results of a Delphi study, which was used to validate those criteria and organize them into a staged capability maturity model - Information Quality Management Capability Maturity Model (IQM-CMM). The paper finally presents the preliminary results of a case study, where IQM-CMM was applied in a large Australian engineering asset management organization, and used as a comprehensive approach for evaluating their existing information quality management practices. As a result, it is believed that IQM-CMM may help organizations in assessing their existing information quality management practices, and in identifying potential gaps and improvement strategies.
