Business Strategy -- Community Up
Professional and effective information & referral relies heavily on the quality of the resource data collected and knowledge of the local landscape.
• Community Up is a principled approach to designing a system where local service delivery agencies, United Ways, government decision-makers and municipal partners have a role in the 211 system
• Community Up leverages the capacity and relationships of organizations, and the expertise of their people to build a stronger system, and improve the user experience.
• Community Up, in the context of information management, envisages data being collected locally, managed regionally, governed provincially, and aligned nationally
For more information, download the ‘211 in Ontario: Vision and Road Map’ document at:www.211ontario.ca/aboutus
“The next three years will be a critical period for 211 in Ontario – focused on formalizing and strengthening relationships, creating efficiencies through the use of technology, and improving our ability to report back to communities on user needs.”
