As AI adoption accelerates across industries, many organizations are rushing to implement these technologies without fully considering the foundational elements required for success.

Certified Information Professional (CIP) | Intelligent Information Management (IIM)
Today marks three years since I joined AIIM on December 1, 2022, and I walked into an organization navigating financial recovery and industry transformation simultaneously. I joined AIIM the day after ChatGPT was released to the public, and our entire field was scrambling to understand what it meant for information management. We were facing hard questions about relevance, sustainability, and purpose. Three years later, I'm grateful we didn't just survive that moment. We used it to fundamentally reimagine what AIIM could be.

Earlier this fall, I had the pleasure of joining Chris McNulty on the Polaris Pathways podcast alongside Andrew Borg from Synozur to discuss how AI is transforming the nonprofit sector. Chris is AIIM's Treasurer and a member of our Board of Directors, so the conversation felt like a natural extension of the strategic discussions we've been having about AI's role in our industry. We covered everything from governance gaps to the emerging "frontier firm" model, and I wanted to share some key takeaways particularly relevant to associations and information management practitioners.

I recently had the opportunity to sit down with The Association Adviser podcast to discuss one of the most critical questions facing organizations today: how do we responsibly integrate AI into our operations? The episode, "AI is Here - Is Your Association Ready?", is now live, and I wanted to share some key insights from our conversation. As information management practitioners, we're not just dealing with technology adoption—we're navigating fundamental questions about how AI will reshape our organizations, our workforce, and our relationships with stakeholders. Here are some of the key questions (and my answers) that I believe information leaders should be asking right now.

Content Migration | Document Management | Intelligent Information Management (IIM)
When planning M&A integrations, teams focus intensively on migrating financial systems and customer databases. But there's a critical blind spot: the unstructured data—emails, documents, and files—that often contains the most valuable knowledge assets and justifies the acquisition in the first place. This oversight doesn't just leave value on the table; it creates hidden risks and operational chaos that can undermine the deal's success.
