....and it turns out they had a lot more in common than either of them expected. Did you know that Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) is the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time, pulling in over $1.33 billion worldwide? There is something magical about what happens when two beloved characters from different worlds finally share the screen. As it turns out, the same principle applies to different, but related practices. On May 14, AIIM and the National Contract Management Association (NCMA) co-hosted a free webinar called Better Together: Building Understanding Between Contract Management and Information Governance. In my previous post, I made the case for why these two disciplines need to work more closely together. This post is about what happened when they actually did.

I spent March 19 at DGI's E-Discovery, Records, and Information Management Conference, where AIIM is a proud partner.

I recently finished Unreasonable Hospitality by Will Guidara, the restaurateur behind Eleven Madison Park. On the surface, it's a book about running a successful restaurant business. But really, it's about what happens when you commit to making people feel seen, valued, and cared for. Those lessons apply across sectors. For information management professionals, I think the book points to something we don't talk about enough: the need to be intentional. Intentional about the work we do. Intentional about the teams we build to do that work. And intentional about how we communicate our value.

Something interesting showed up in our recent 2025 AIIM Industry Watch report, and I can't stop wondering about it. When we looked at how practitioners view information management's future importance, we found a notable shift. In 2024, 72% of respondents believed IM would become more important in the next 12 months. In 2025, that number dropped to 48%. At first glance, that might look like a warning sign. I don't think it is.

Here are some of my key takeaways.
