Overview

Ansoult is a bioengineer and holds a PhD in science. Before Exquando he worked in the IT department of Brussels Airport, at Capgemini and in the space sector. He frames the method around the infoSystem Model Canvas, a canvas inspired by the Business Model Canvas that puts trustworthy information at the centre and links the software where information is stored, digitalisation of processes and tools, change management, governance, and shared vocabulary. For governance he draws on Elinor Ostrom's work on common resources and applies three principles: involve users, put control and supervision in place, and interlock departmental governance with organisational governance. He says organisations often think their problem is technological while it comes from a lack of rules, roles and shared decisions, and that a tool without governance stays an empty shell. Exquando recruits archivists, document controllers and certified information management consultants, some from library sciences and some from engineering, and trains them in an in-house academy. Ansoult says one colleague used to be a nurse and another a social worker.
