The Office of Information Management and Analysis (OIMA)

The Office of Information Management and Analysis (OIMA) is here to empower & support people, so that our water data systems educate communities & inform decisions to protect the environment and public health.

We do this through four thematic actions:

• We ensure the value of data by engaging each phase of the data life cycle.
• We create and innovate by leveraging our strengths and doing more with less.
• We serve communities to build capacity and inspire good science.
• We nurture a healthy work culture.

See the OIMA Golden Circle statement for more details and examples of how we operationalize these thematic actions.

The following values are at the core of who we are as an office and how we work:

We build trust: we strive to be a trusted source of water data, information, and processes, and we invest the time and space required to build, rebuild, and maintain trusting relationships.

We adapt: we strive to be adaptable and innovative in how we work and the products, services, and resources we develop.

We work in partnership: collaboration and partnerships are key to who we are and how we work. We believe the way we work directly impacts what we produce.

We drive quality: we strive to produce quality information, data, products, and services. We know the quality of the systems and processes we use determine the outcomes we are able to achieve.

See the OIMA Values Statement for how each of these values have been operationalized into behaviors that we are all empowered, expected, and held accountable to demonstrating.
