This IG Community Roundtable is an “Ask Us Anything” session in which the conversation was driven entirely by YOU.

Think of it as nearly an hour of free consulting with three top resources – plus a bit of peer review – and you get the idea. Watch, learn, and enjoy!

If you’re reading this, then your to-do list probably includes tasks like updating your retention schedule, reducing paper, cleaning up your data stores, protecting privacy, boosting findability, etc.

But you can’t do any of these things without first knowing what information you have and where it’s stored – which is why you need to start by conducting an information inventory and drawing a data map.

This edition of the IG Community Roundtable will explores why this screamingly obvious bit of advice is so often (in our experience) given short-shrift, why the work is more than worth the psychic pain it can cause, and how to ease that pain for the people whose cooperation and input you need.

If you’re exploring, piloting, or implementing AI, take note of this critical distinction when it comes to ingesting and leveraging information:

• Citation: the information exists, and I can tell you where to find it
• Provenance: the information exists, and I can tell you where to find it, where it originated, and when it arrived

Understanding the difference is foundational to getting practical value from AI, most instances of which cite their data sources but say nothing about whether those sources, or that data, is at all reliable.

Join me and John Martin, Founder & CEO of RedFile Technologies, in this edition of Speaking Of, in which we discuss the meaning and ramifications of a LinkedIn post he wrote on the subject.*

You really don’t want to miss it.
