IM-ing Myself

The past one week (last week) I attended an Information Management Conference and its subsequent workshop.

What??!!! you ask.

Well, a good definition is here http://www.willpowerinfo.co.uk/infoman.htm

Why I was sent there? Probably becuase I am the official Chief Information Officer at my workplace (though my official title is Information & Knowledge Management Officer).

The conference/workshop made me understood that many amongst us are still confused with IM and ICT. Simply put, IM is the process of the exercise while ICT are the tools which we can use in the process. I also came to realise that many still think information and its management as a technical aspect of the workings of an organisation.

I guess it is really up to people designated as CIO to inform and educate the rest of us.

Boy! Don't I have one big task ahead of me!
