Artificial Intelligence (AI) | Electronic Records Management (ERM) | Information Governance
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.

Earlier this week I found myself in a back and forth with a fellow (and very well decorated) professional in a LinkedIn Group about the Records Continuum Concept, and it's limits. The conversation re-ignited in me the first time I encountered the reference to this "new theory", which directly flew in the face of what I learnt and knew about the tried and tested Records Lifecycle Concept.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) | Automation | Intelligent Information Management (IIM) | Process Automation
Many organizations have taken the initial steps with GenAI: they have obtained licenses for LLM usage, have started pilots, and have a growing group of enthusiastic early users. Now they realize that the harder step is turning those pilots into business value. That is where many initiatives stall, because the underlying work has not been redesigned to fit the technology.

Certified Information Professional (CIP) | Intelligent Information Management (IIM)
If you work in data and information management, data and information governance, IT, or compliance, you've probably noticed that the certification landscape has gotten crowded. There's a credential for almost everything these days, which makes it a fair question to ask: why are there certifications specifically focused on information management? What makes information different enough to warrant its own body of knowledge, its own exam, its own professional community?
