On a train headed to Schiphol airport and ultimately home again. This trip was whiplash fast, but I’m so energised by the keen interest in all things #informationmanagement and the opportunity to help organisations make things better by using their most powerful asset (which is information in case that wasn’t clear 😆). Thank you as always to my wonderful colleagues in The Hague, particularly Selfinaz Sahin who strong armed me into coming over and made it totally worth it.

Thank you so much to everyone who joined us in The Hague today to let me talk non-stop about all the value #informationmanagement in the #AI era. Remember, #informationlifecycle is always the answer 😜

Episode 6 of #TheTechEdge is here and an incredibly important topic being the protection of information of children and minors. Mike Loder and I are joined by Karen Weaver who gives us some great advice from her 25 years of experience working with children as part of sports programs. Definitely one you don't want to miss!

A couple of months ago I was really thrilled to part of AIIM International's OnAir Podcast with Tori Miller Liu, MBA, FASAE, CAE, CIP (episode here https://lnkd.in/grYwrE8m). As part of this episode I talked about some of my AI fears, including inappropriate use, particularly in relation to minors. I've also spent the morning following this heartbreaking story https://lnkd.in/gwRQs6GJ (Arrest over fake images of teenage girls). I don't have an answer for this (yet... give me a couple of hours) but I do believe that advanced tech like this has to come with some form of regulation so it can be used safely and to best effect. I'm sitting with this a bit today and doing more reflecting. Would love to hear your thoughts.

It’s shoot day! To say Mike Loder and I have fun with #TheTechEdge is something of a minor understatement 😆. Our next group of guests are incredible and I can’t wait to share their wisdom and insights with you. Massive thanks to Georgie Jennings for being the genius behind this video and especially nailing the high five at the end 😂

Well that (almost) wraps up this trip to the UK. I have talked NONSTOP about all things #informationmanagement and it has been awesome. Thank you to everyone who came to chat with us at #IRMS and everyone who indulged me at our (first ever!) #IM User Group. I’ve said it before, and I won’t stop saying it, there has NEVER been a better time to be in this industry. Thank you also to my incredible colleagues for facilitating this trip, but mainly for putting up with me. Anne-Marie Connolly Yatindra Ranpura Jason Parnwell Jason Lee Ethan D.

Having a great time at the IRMS - Information and Records Management Society conference here in Brighton. Looking forward to talking this afternoon about how you can deliver tangible cost savings through information lifecycle! Anne-Marie Connolly Max Welsh Ethan D.

I was really pleased to chat with IDM recently about managing information in the #AI era. You can check it out here https://lnkd.in/g3GHA4Ye 77% of organizations acknowledge that they need #informationmanagement measures to get the most out of their AI investments, however the numbers actually implementing good #IM are much lower. #GenAI can ONLY be as good as the content it has access to, so it's vital to have processes in place to ensure our information is as up to date and accurate as possible.

This episode of #TheTechEdge was an absolute joy from start to finish with the always insightful Tori Miller Liu, MBA, FASAE, CAE, CIP (who comes out of the gate swinging 😄). There is a lot to consider about the ethical adoption of #AI and, of course, #informationmanagement has a big role here as well. Mike Loder and I could have kept asking questions on this one! https://lnkd.in/gtk4YjDd
