Information governance animation

We worked closely with AstraZeneca to develop an information governance animation that transmitted the importance of managing, securing, protecting and preserving data to make the right decisions in the interest of patients and the company as a whole.

Background

The avalanche of data and information available in the last few years has proved a challenge to many companies, which have seen their business dynamics change as they quickly adapt to a constantly evolving environment. Extracting insights from all the data available – and keeping it secure – is essential to an organisation’s success, in particular in the ecommerce and IT sectors, and Healthcare. A company-wide adoption of information governance principles will help minimise risks and costs while maximising the value of data.

Challenge

Appreciating that information is the blood of their organisation, AstraZeneca recognises that all teams must adopt control and security measures in order to optimise information and stay within the boundaries of the latest regulations at all times.

As the company changed the way information is handled, the team at AstraZeneca recognised a need to communicate its importance to employees to encourage engagement and instil a sense of responsibility in every employee.

Solution

Before starting work on the information governance animation, we started by creating an identity that would help transmit the importance of keeping information secure.

Thinking of how the identity could be tailored to an animation environment, we created an identifier which when animated expands, rotates, flows, shrinks, spins and locks up to illustrate the four pillars which work together to protect data.

Within the information governance animation, data is represented by a line that flows through everything the company does and impacts, while background graphics help suggest the speed of information and movement of teams as they adapt to an ever-changing landscape.

A series of icons helps transmit concepts such as protection, financial commitment and reputation, all essential elements of the information governance process.
