I agree with your point regarding the need to understand and manage information, data and records under one programme. But I've recently noticed the rise of separate data governance projects which appear to be parallel universes to IM with the same roles but different names.
Hi Miles - i agree, and it's actually one of the things that led to this post. I have a friend of mine who has reached a point in their information governance program (which includes information and records management) where they need to also own data management and data governance or their program loses a lot of its impact. I think what it symbolises is that people understand the limits of current approaches, and they're trying to find an approach that tackles the problems they see - that's both an opportunity and a threat.
I'd love to be a fly on the wall for that "short" conversation!
When it happens, I will invite you!
