Information Management Manifesto: Welcome to the Information Management Manifesto

Information Management Manifesto Initiative

The world of Information Management is in a poor state. Levels of professionalism are at an all-time low; disciplines such as Data Warehousing and Decision Support are awash with chancers, charlatans and dogma, and as time moves on, the worse the reputation of the profession becomes.

Information Management desperately needs an ethical and professional revolution, one that all professionals can contribute to and support. To this end, we as professionals need to create a democratic, global and self-imposed constitutional code of ethic that professional people of integrity will abide with and will feel that adds real value to the profession.

During 2012, cambriano energia will be working together with partners, clients, collaborators and peers in shaping and defining a DW / DSS Manifesto, which we consider to be a necessary and imperative initiative for promoting visible ethical and professional integrity in the DW / DSS discipline.

To this end we have established a series of touch points through which people can engage in, initiate and contribute to debates, discussions and discourse on the proposals for a IM manifesto, initially focusing on the areas of DW and Decision Support (BI, MIS, KM).
