The most important priorities you need to be working on this year are:

• Value
• Data
• Succession planning.

Last week's Jinfo Webinar, State of the industry, 2020 gave our take on these priorities:

• If you have a Jinfo Subscription, I encourage you to access the recording and deck notes, share these with your team and spend 10 minutes in your next meeting considering how Jinfo's recommendations align with your own priorities
  
  
• Purchase a Subscription if you don't already have one, as customers tell us these sessions are invaluable for ensuring they have a chance to review and reflect on not just the ideas presented but what they can actually DO as a result.

This was the first event in the current Research Focus, "The Information Centre of Excellence - commercial, consultative, collaborative".

Subscription Tip: Is it a Jinfo Webinar or a Community session?

Webinars are presentations and are recorded. Community sessions are peer-group discussions and are not recorded to preserve confidentiality.

Both types of events result in publication of a deck with notes as a Jinfo report.

The best way to understand a Community session is to participate in one. Check out our schedule and register for your choice:
