Editor's Notes
- Hello and welcome to Eye on the Industry, an AIIM presentation designed to help you in your quest to find ways of managing your information and processes more effectively and efficiently. I’m Bob Larrivee, Director of Custom Research at AIIM. When I ask about information governance in the workplace, many people tell me they know they have some sort of governance but are not sure what it is. When I ask how they know there is governance in place, they often say, I was taught to do things a certain way. Yes, this is governance, and no, to learn it this way is not effective. This approach may put you at risk if there are certain things you should be doing and are not, simply because no one told you about it.
- In many organizations, there is a policy in place. The questions is, where does it reside, and secondly, who is responsible for it? If you do not know where to look, begin with the records manager and ask about their policy and governance over records. From there, head to the CIO and inquire about the overarching governance policies for the company. Ultimately, it is the CIO who is responsible for all information management practices. You may also want to discuss it with the folks in legal as they may have some sense of what is required from a litigation and compliance angle.
- AIIM research1 shows that effective information governance is crippled by poor training. Only 16% regularly train all staff. 31% do no training at all. Senior management is ignoring the risks. 31% of respondents report that poor electronic records-keeping is causing problems with regulators and auditors. 14% are incurring fines or bad publicity. Emails are acknowledged as records, but the filing systems are chaotic. 73% include email in their retention policies, but most rely on manual methods to file them.
- Excess litigation costs are clearly seen as the biggest risk of a failure of information governance. Since information governance also includes protecting confidential and customer-related data, the bad publicity and loss of customer confidence from a data leak is also of considerable consequence.
- Look to your existing policies and seek to align your electronic records practices with those that you already have for physical records. Ensure that new staff and existing staff are fully trained on compliance with the policy. Look for automated classification capabilities in your existing systems or future purchases. These can make a big difference to user acceptability and to the accuracy of indexing. Don’t wait until you need an e-discovery process – you may be given a short time limit. Have processes and mechanisms in place.
