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?

The Sales Lesson Behind "We've Always Done It That Way" When I was out selling, my favorite phrase to hear from a prospect was, "but we've always done it that way." Every time somebody said it to me, I knew I had a sale. Because their eyes would light up the moment they saw something they hadn't seen before, and that phrase was really just a person standing at the edge of change, waiting for someone to show them what was on the other side.

As the Immediate Past Chair of AIIM, I have watched our industry rename and reinvent itself a couple of times. We went from the Association for Information and Image Management to the Association for Intelligent Information Management. Most recently, we rebranded our events as the AI+IM Global Summit and AI+IM regional events.

Why Information Still Matters More Than the Technology I've been in this industry since 1978, and I've watched the terminology change more times than I can count. Document management became content management. Content management became information governance. Now everybody's talking about AI. But underneath all of it, there's one word that hasn't moved: information.

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.
