Winning Allies: How IG Professionals Can Use Stakeholder Management for Program Success
Information governance stakeholder management is a critical factor in determining whether IG initiatives thrive or fail. In the pages of IG history, two initiatives stand side-by-side as a study in contrast.
One has become rooted in organizational culture. Well-vetted and highly operationalized, it is enthusiastically supported at all levels. The other barely exists beyond its dust-covered charter. Its policies and procedures are scattered among the ROT (redundant, obsolete, trivial) data in which they lie. Some question whether these policies were even formally approved. And the mere thought of an audit causes program owners to cringe.
Why do some IG...

Hidden Dangers of Poor Records Retention Policies in Messaging Apps
In today’s fast-paced digital environment, messaging apps like Signal, WhatsApp, and Telegram have become indispensable tools for communication. Their convenience, however, comes with a significant risk—especially when organizations fail to implement robust records retention policies.

The Legal Landscape: What’s Required?
In the United States, federal and state laws impose strict requirements on records retention, particularly for public entities and regulated industries. The Federal Records Act mandates that government agencies preserve records that document the organization, functions, policies, decisions,...
