Information Governance: Putting the Teeth into Records Management

The Presidential Directive on Managing Government Records (M-12-18) has elevated the records management conversation – prioritizing the idea that records are truly the lifeblood of an organization—and must be organized, managed and protected appropriately to ultimately drive maximum return on information (ROI). 

This timely conversation is critical as the explosion of information growth continues at an exponential rate and new forms of information like social media posts, instant messages, and videos have complicated an information officer’s job in managing the deluge. 

This vital webinar will discuss the how the federal records community needs to modernize the management of information in light of this data explosion.
