The disparity between expecting change and managing it—the “change gap”—is growing at an unprecedented pace. This has put many information management shops into traction as they initiate large and complex data warehouse, big data, master data management, and enterprise resource planning projects necessary to stay competitive.
Information management professionals and business leaders must concern themselves with the organization’s acceptance of these efforts.
