EIM contains a lot of abstract concepts that are of interest to information architects, and of no interest at all to CxOs. So how do you present your EIM program and projects? In this webinar, John Ladley will cover how to describe and communicate key concepts like Information Asset Management, Information Maturity, and Data Governance at the CxO level.

How to Manage Information as an Asset

The value proposition of EIM is founded on Information being treated as as Asset. Information management professionals concur, and CxOs will say "So what?" In most organizations, they are both right! There is a means of reconciliation, and this presentation will discuss and contrast information as a strategic, but intangible (maybe) asset. Various views of information value will be presented to compare various approaches to managing information as an asset. The talk will outline a vision for the future, but with practical steps to help you get there.
