The value of information professionals
I was reflecting on a recent interview with Jack Kokko, CEO of Alphasense. In a couple of sentences he clearly articulated the value of information professionals to the modern organisation:
'My mantra is "every company’s enterprise value is the cumulative sum of the decisions that it makes.” We help our clients succeed and compete more effectively by having the right information fueling their strategy. They make better, quicker, and more confident decisions at every turn, and those decisions accumulate and turn into business success'
We have always promoted this view, with Jinfo's Focus on Value Chain materials having successfully helped many clients align their value proposition with their organisations’ strategy.

Managing the talent pipeline and succession
As organisational hierarchies have become flatter, the gap between the information leaders and their teams has steadily grown. Succession planning is a difficult but vital activity to nurture skills and know-how for future leaders.
Read our new report 'Managing your talent pipeline: Knowledge and Succession', which comes off the back of our recent Community session on the topic.
Setting aside concerns that you might be working your way out of your role, investment in the next generation is vital to ensure information management remains a core competency of the organisation.
