The Headwinds Facing IG Most of us know that Information Governance (IG) has been a popular term since the 1990’s when it was coined as a next big thing for Records Management. It has had success – adopted in number of different forms, including conferences, frameworks, the “Chief Information Governance Officer (CIGO)” certification and roles that include the term. But the headwinds have grown – Information Management along with Data Governance have for a long time created conflict with IG. Now, with things like AI, Cybersecurity and Data Sovereignty gaining traction are we seeing IG getting eclipsed?

Information professionals don't make judgments about the value of data. We make judgments about the tools used to manage information, what information can be used for, and who should have access. Those judgments rest on laws, standards, and policies, not on gut instinct. That's the job of information professionals. It was our job before generative AI and still the job now that a growing share of the current conversation about AI safety is really a conversation about access and oversight.

Most organizations treat information governance as a compliance exercise, until a serious data breach transforms it into a risk management and business imperative. Only after a data incident do most organizations understand that the amount of data the threat actor accessed is directly proportional to what the organization had long kept in its environment.

Before a NAGARA webinar I moderated on August 6, someone on the call mentioned, in passing, that they lived in a place called Box Elder. I distractedly asked what that was. I genuinely thought maybe the town was named after an elder named Box (I know, don't judge). Turns out a box elder is a place, a tree, and a bug, all at once, and I knew none of that until a webinar attendee told me before we'd even started recording. It was a small, ridiculous moment, but it's stuck with me, because it's a pretty good stand-in for how records and information management (RIM) gets seen by leadership and the rest of the business. People know the field exists. Ask them what it actually does for the organization, and you'll get something vague, inaccurate, or nothing at all. There's awareness without understanding, a name everyone's heard attached to a value nobody can quite articulate.

Everyone agrees AI governance matters, but very few have an effective, centralized program actually running yet. And your project teams aren't waiting around for one.
