Intelligent Information Management (IIM)
I just got back from keynoting a very stimulating Kofax conference in Barcelona. 500+ people and an awful lot of energy in the room. Plus it didn't hurt that the event was in Barcelona, which is just a terrific city. One of the slides I used seemed to attract a fair amount of attention, so I include it here. I call it my "history of Enterprise IT in one slide" slide so I thought I would share it with my blog readers.

Intelligent Information Management (IIM)
The success of any organization’s information management (IM) strategy depends on managing three different spheres of concern: people, business processes, and technology. IM strategies often fail because they do not properly address one or more of those areas which are like three legs of a stool: remove one and the whole thing falls over. The following eight points identify some key considerations for each of these legs. Each point is a distinct, major area of activity within any large-scale IM strategy. Putting sufficient effort into all of these areas will significantly improve your degree of success, but losing focus on even one of them can have a disproportionately large and detrimental impact.

Intelligent Information Management (IIM)
AIIM recently published an article called "Eight Factors to Consider In Creating an Information Management Strategy." The article included eight questions to ask yourself about the people, processes, and technology that will be affected by your information management strategy. Here are eight more factors you should consider when creating an information management strategy: 1. Talk to Your Employees Technology decisions have traditionally been handed down from the top, forced on employees along with a training manual and a help desk number. But there’s a fundamental difference between giving your employees technology that they have to use and giving them the technology they want to use. Before you formulate your information management strategy, consider talking with your employees. Do they feel enabled—or disabled—by technology? Chances are, they have some pretty valuable insights into what isn’t working, and maybe even some technology recommendations. Individuals and departments often find creative ways to work around cumbersome infrastructure and platforms, implementing wikis, extranets, and cloud content management platforms to manage better and share information. Take a look at the organic processes your employees have put in place and the solutions they’ve adopted—if they’re working, why not consider broader deployment?
