President's Message
Dear fellow Information Professionals,
Our world is going through unprecedented changes. There are no manuals, standards, or playbooks to guide us through the present challenges and ambiguities. Your IIM is also going through a fundamental transformation that will change the ways we research, socialise, evangelise and lead information professionals through the new crusades that emerging technologies, novel approaches and changing circumstances are bringing upon us.
In the coming months, we plan to engage with you, our members and affiliates and develop a map of business capabilities that an organisation need to have, in order to survive and prepare for new norms and normalities in a very different world.
We hope that you will choose to join us on this uncertain, but exciting journey.
Vladimir Videnovic
National President
