The Organizational Information Requirements - or OIR - are one of the most important foundations in ISO 19650.

In this video, you'll learn what an OIR is, why it matters, and how it helps an organization define the strategic information it needs to support decision-making, operations, risk reduction, and long-term business goals. Different owners have different priorities, so a casino operator, hospital, zoo, or school will all need different information to run their organizations effectively.

This expert training video explains how the OIR acts as the north star for project information management, helping teams align project decisions with what matters most to the appointing party.

In this video, you'll learn:
- What an OIR is in ISO 19650
- Why the OIR is the first priority for strategic information planning
- How different owner types need different organizational information
- What happens when an OIR is missing or poorly defined
- Why organizations often struggle to define the right strategic requirements
- How to identify high-level business activities and priorities
- Why the purpose of each information requirement needs to be clear
- How to rationalize information across departments like finance, IT, and facilities
- How the OIR supports the PIR and AIR
- How templates and examples can help make OIR creation easier and more compliant

This is a practical overview for teams that want to better understand the strategic side of ISO 19650 and make sure that project and asset information supports the real operational goals of the organization.

This video is ideal for:
- BIM Managers
- Information Managers
- Project Managers
- Clients and appointing parties
- Consultants
- Asset managers
- Facilities managers
- Anyone defining strategic information requirements under ISO 19650

If you want a clearer way to define what information really matters to an organization and why, this video is a strong next step.
