And the cycle never stops (will there ever be a theoretical end to Moore's Law?). We are failing at IG because we carry old assumptions forward and keep assuming that more complicated technologies will help us understand all of this data. Experience When studying change in societies, you also have to study the ways people experience the impacts of these changes. For example, if we want to understand the change in land use from pre-agriculture to agriculture, we need to know how people felt about and experienced this change, and the specifics of the change itself, to understand its impact on society. The same is true for IG. We haven't studied and realized the impact of these recent and ongoing changes. We keep trucking along, and then suddenly — BAM — we have terabytes of data we never noticed and GPDR regulations we never saw coming. All of this looks obvious in hindsight, but it takes a sudden catastrophe or incident (think data breach, legal action or legal regulation) to force us to suddenly perceive our IG threat. Time for a Resurgence Information governance is failing because of three situations we need to change immediately. We are inadvertently inflicting damage on our own data proliferation, we have no previous experience to refer to when managing this exponential data growth and we do not yet fully perceive the impact these changes are having on us. We all have competing interests around the growing store of data, and we need to balance group and individual interests. Taking the lessons from failing societies, we can see a resurgence in successful information governance.
