S1 - 17 | From Liability to Strategic Asset: The Business Case for Effective Information Management

In this episode, I speak with James Price, founder of Experience Matters, an internationally recognized expert in information management. We tackle a question most business leaders overlook:Is your organization managing its information assets effectively? Spoiler: if your board isn't asking for an information report every month, the answer is probably no.

We explore the evolving role of information as thefourth asset class—alongside physical, financial, and human assets—and discuss how businesses can unlock its full potential. James shares jaw-dropping stories of the consequences of mismanaged information, from lost engineering plans to nearly disastrous excavations, and how simple changes in accountability and governance can transform how organizations operate.

We cover:

• The economics of information: why it’s a strategic asset
• How poor information management injects risk into every process
• The behavioral and governance aspects of managing data
• Real-world examples of companies succeeding (or failing) at information management

Whether you’re a CEO, a data leader, or someone passionate about driving better business outcomes, this conversation will shift how you think about information.
