The possibilities for more information chaos surround us. Content is proliferating at geometric rates, and organizations and the people who work in them are struggling with massive amounts of information overload. The sheer volume of content and data entering our organizations is growing in complexity, volume, and variety.

Enterprise Content Management (ECM) | Intelligent Information Management (IIM)
For many years, I’ve watched people in organizations that I KNOW could benefit from content technologies politely listen to sales presentations, nod their heads, and then back away from a decision. I find this “reluctance to commit” mysterious because most of the people that I’ve spoken with who have automated a previously paper-driven process swear by the results and wouldn’t return to life pre-content management for anything.

Certified Information Professional (CIP) | Intelligent Information Management (IIM)
In the mainstream, the focus is still on on-premise applications built on and for the PC. The core skills that are valued in the mainstream are focused on building and developing systems. At the edge, the focus shifts to the cloud, mobile technologies become the Lego building blocks of systems, and the skill sets that are valued within our IT staffs shift from building and developing to configuring and connecting.

The Certified Information Professional (CIP) has come to represent a badge of competency and knowledge at the top of the knowledge worker pyramid for those entrusted with the task of building an information STRATEGY in a time of digital disruption. Broader than Records Management and Information Governance, Information Professionals are charged with these questions: Who owns the BIG PICTURE for how information is managed in our organization?

The accelerating pace of Digital Disruption makes this role more important -- and different -- than ever. But before going there, how exactly is the emerging era of Digital Transformation different from where we are now?

Many people do not realize that AIIM was founded in 1943 as the National Microfilm Association. Many people are mystified about how an organizational journey could somehow begin in 1943 with microfilm, and wind up in 2016 with content and information management. So what is the connective tissue in this strange story? I think it boils down to 3 words: People, Process, and Technology.

Intelligent Information Management (IIM)
It is literally 20 years to the day since I first started at AIIM. I've been thinking about how the technology landscape has changed since I first walked on the scene at AIIM and what the implications of these changes are for how we think about what it means to be an “Information Professional." This was the heart of what I spoke about during my keynote at The AIIM Conference, and we've now published as a new e-book.
