But I also believe that these benefits are not automatic, and in fact will only be the result of sustained, proactive efforts to understand and manage information in a better way. I believe that there is a need for like-minded people to come together and find this better way. A forum for ideas, facts, and techniques. An initiative that pushes the market forward and builds information literacy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Jason Baron bio\" href=\"www.linkedin.com\/in\/jasonrbaron\" target=\"_blank\">Jason

mission as sounding a call to arms that current information practices are unsustainable in our increasingly big data world, and that IG solutions exist that better leverage new technology and smart practices. \u00a0Unless corporations and government agencies take more concerted actions, information overload and mismanagement may pose a serious threat to the economy and even to the justice system itself.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Peter Baumann bio\" href=\"uk.linkedin.com\/pub\/peter-baumann\/0\/4a4\/920\" target=\"_blank\">Peter Baumann<\/a>, CEO of Active Navigation,\u00a0<a title=\"Peter
