Presentation Topic: Information Chaos Pilots: From Data Overwhelm to Strategic Decision Intelligence Conner's Records and Information Management Career Journey
​
In a time when digital transformation and Gen AI are colliding, information governance professionals face the overwhelming task of managing vast quantities of data – much of it RIOT data (redundant, inaccessible, obsolete, trivial).
As information “chaos pilots”, RIM and data governance professionals are uniquely positioned to transform this challenge into a strategic advantage by leveraging data, decision sciences, and business intelligence to extract meaningful insights from structured and unstructured data. This session will explore how to navigate information chaos and elevate records management and information governance into proactive drivers of business value and innovation, successfully piloting organizations through the storms of change, uncertainty, and complexity.
Additionally, we'll discuss cognitive biases and how to mitigate risks that can distort data interpretation, including sharing real-world case studies from Gimmal customers in highly regulated industries and the public sector.
