There is broad recognition of the problems associated with information management, but very little consensus about what exactly should be done to alleviate it.
But management is still haphazard.
Around four in ten companies take a single central department approach to managing their business critical information, while over one third (37 percent) use a separate department for each location approach to IM. Additionally, two in ten say information management is totally distributed with department managers responsible for their own area. There is no single owner of IM. Some leave it to IT (43 percent) and some to the CEO/board (38 percent).
