Consider the following: “The speed of current breakthroughs has no historical precedent.” --Klaus Schwab, World Economic Forum, 2016 “For the first time in history, the world’s leading experts on accelerating technology are consistently finding themselves too conservative in their predictions…” --Steven Kotler “Uber, the world’s largest taxi company, owns no vehicles. Facebook, the world’s most popular media owner, creates no content. Alibaba, the most valuable retailer, has no inventory. And Airbnb, the world’s largest accommodation provider, owns no real estate. Something interesting is happening.” --Tom Goodwin, Havas Media, in Techcruch What the heck is going on, and what does it have to do with Information Professionals?

One of the problems with digital disruption is that once disruption occurs, it is difficult to replace the revenues lost from the old model with "new" revenues. A lot of newspapers, faced with declining advertising revenues, turned to on-line versions with the expectation that digital revenues could replace the more traditional advertising revenues. However, as this chart shows, that simply has not happened.

As many of you know, over the past few months, I have voiced some concerns about the match between technology strategies, AMS (Association Management Systems) capabilities, and the need for CEOs to get engaged and own their organization’s technology strategies. You may recall my somewhat hyperbolic e-book, “The AMS as We Know it is Dead,” likening our AMS systems to the German word EierLegendeVollMicheSau, the fictional perfect farm animal, uniting the qualities of chickens (laying eggs), sheep (producing wool), cows (giving out milk) and pigs (can be turned into bacon).

As consumerization, mobile and cloud, and the Internet of Things sweep through our organizations over the next few years, some organizations will be prepared, agile, and thrive, and others will be left in the dust by competitors they never event imagined. The authors of these books will all also be speaking at AIIM15. Here’s the official AIIM15 must-read list:

The five predictions below are by Tom Koulopoulos from the Delphi Group. From Tom: -- "As a child, I couldn’t grasp the concept of gravity. If you drop an object from twice as high, it doesn’t take twice as long to reach the ground. It only takes 1.4 times as long. The reason is that the higher the object the more time it has to accelerate. (Yes, for those of you who did pay attention in physics class, I’m leaving out air resistance, distance from sea level, and terminal velocity.) The simplest analogy is to think of pulling onto a highway. When you accelerate from 0-105 KPH in ten seconds, you are actually covering more ground with each passing second." So what does this have to do with the future? Well, the future has its own form of gravity that pulls us to it faster and faster, it’s called technology, and we simply cannot project technology change at the same rate going forward as it has occurred in the past.

As we start to think about #AIIM15, I thought I would ask a number of our sponsors a few identical questions in order to get an understanding of how they see the future of our industry -- and let those of you attending start to think about your own questions to ask them in San Diego. Here are the three questions I'll ask: What are the three biggest challenges you see your customers facing while trying to “Embrace the Chaos”? What do you see as the three most important trends related to Information Management facing organizations over the next 18-24 months? What will be different in our industry two years from now? What are the three most important things attendees should know about your company?
