The document outlines ARMA International's Records and Information Management (RIM) Core Competencies initiative. The initiative aims to define core competencies for RIM professionals at various levels, provide a self-assessment tool, and benefit RIM careers. The self-assessment involves evaluating competencies, reviewing gaps, creating a development plan, and taking action to achieve goals. ARMA recommends individuals evaluate their competencies, set goals, and start the self-assessment process now.
