 Last month our colleague Stephen Phillips retired. In his farewell blog he reminds us that we, as information professionals, must continue to develop as a profession and as individuals:
That message resonates across the Jinfo community, as we strive to understand and leverage how AI is reshaping the way we work with content.
Content investment for AI
This month we're focusing on how information managers can clearly articulate to senior leadership why high-quality content is essential for successful AI initiatives:
- Register for our upcoming community session, "Content investment for AI" (19th May 2026).
- Contribute to our short poll (5 questions, 5 minutes), so we can understand your current practices, challenges, and priorities.
Licensed content and AI
Our recent research on licensed content and AI has highlighted the misalignment between stakeholders and the increasing need to balance on- and off-platform approaches:
Our Community sessions in June and July will look further at stakeholder value and AI. Register now.
Across all of this, one theme is clear: content is becoming a strategic asset in AI.
Information managers need to stay ahead. Being an agent of change means shaping the future, not waiting for it.
Jinfo is here to help you be that agent of change. Please reach out if you want to discuss the topic with me, and purchase a Jinfo Subscription if your organisation doesn't have one yet.

"Content investment for AI"
19th May 2026
Jinfo Community
How do you get leadership to invest in licensed content for AI – and make sure it delivers real value?
Many organisations are balancing investments in licensed content, internal AI tools, and growing expectations from colleagues who want simple, seamless access to information.
We'll discuss:
- Which licensed content truly drives better decisions and gets used
- Where the content belongs (AI tools vs existing platforms)
- How to turn spend into measurable adoption and impact.
Register for this interactive session focused on practical decisions, trade-offs, and shared experiences.
"Stakeholder value and AI"
25th June 2026
Jinfo Community
Effective stakeholder engagement is central to delivering value. It requires understanding what stakeholders aim to achieve, and adapting how information teams communicate and collaborate.
As AI raises questions about roles, stakeholders may ask:
"Why should this work not be replaced by AI?"
Strong engagement helps ensure your value is recognised – through context, judgement, and trusted relationships.
In this Jinfo session, we will explore practical ways to strengthen stakeholder engagement across three areas:
- How to align and prepare your information team for effective stakeholder engagement
- How to better understand and reflect stakeholders’ priorities and language
- How to build trust-based relationships and position your team as a valued partner.
Two follow-up hands-on sessions in July (max. 15 participants) will focus on applying these ideas in practice.
