<font size="3" face="Calibri">Organizations have used information for strategic and operational needs. Despite this long history, the role and impact of quality information continue to elude organizations. The intent of this workshop, which is sponsored by
sigIQ AIS, is to share research findings and experiences of how organizations use and produce quality information to differentiate and achieve various organizational goals. The workshop is open to a variety of research methods including qualitative, quantitative,
and design science approaches. We are also seeking interdisciplinary approaches. This inaugural workshop is seeking completed research papers, research-in-progress, cases, educational games, and experience reports in the following topic areas, but not limited
to:</font></p>
