The ability to surround yourself with the right (and available) personnel resources to plan the Records Management voyage is critical to success in exploring uncharted territory. Pirates and crewmates abound: Who are your advocates, who are your adversaries, and who is remaining neutral? It is with that information that you will have to consider with whom to establish alliances, and who might try to plunder your treasure. Plus we’ll uncover the external resources that may not be obvious on the surface, but can assist you in your efforts to discovery new Records Management land.

Upcoming Classes

Finding Your Records Management Crew: How To Muster Up the Resources To Make Your Project Successful
(The Ferdinand Magellan Class) | Tuesday March 22, 2p ET

The ability to surround yourself with the right (and available) personnel resources to plan the Records Management voyage is critical to success in exploring uncharted territory. Pirates and crewmates abound: Who are your advocates, who are your adversaries, and who is remaining neutral? It is with that information that you will have to consider with whom to establish alliances, and who might try to plunder your treasure. Plus we’ll uncover the external resources that may not be obvious on the surface, but can assist you in your efforts to discovery new Records Management land..

Understand The Commandments of the Records Management Sea: What Are the Governing Rules You Must Consider
(The Christopher Columbus Class) | Tuesday April 5, 2p ET

Your real understanding of the governing rules for Records Management – and identifying who ultimately is the responsible party for establishing and policing the policies – insulates and legitimizes the Records Manager’s position in the organization. As you set off for the New World, we’ll discuss the critical difference between job security and job exposure when things go right and when things go wrong. Because, after all, Columbus never found the East Indies. .

Building Your Records Management Ship: Putting Your Technology Together
(The Zheng He Class) | Tuesday April 19, 2p ET

As you continue on your transoceanic journey across the Seven Seas, you’re not going to get very far without a sturdy ship. Gathering up the right nuts, bolts, and other critical structural materials for building a sea-worthy Records Management vessel is critical to the success of your mission. Records Management is a long voyage and a long term commitment, for you, your financial backers, and for your crew. The ship has to be solid and upfront preparation is essential. And if a leak is ultimately discovered, a greater understanding of recovery methods won’t force the Captain – you – to go down with the ship..

Navigating Your Records Management Journey: Avoiding Potential Turbulent Seas
(The Vasco de Gama Class) | Tuesday May 3, 2p ET

Even the greatest amount of a good Captain’s preparation only gets you out off the Records Management dock. Once you’ve left port, now you’re faced with the real voyage into uncharted seas. Unpredictable weather, marauding pirates, deadly sea serpents, a poorly-designed sexton, and all things unimaginable (like falling off the edge of the Earth) are waiting for you on your expedition. The more knowledge you have of potential obstacles – and the more experience you can glean from explorers who have made the quest themselves before – the more likely you will reach your port-of-call safely, successfully, and under budget..

Returning To Your Records Management Home: Next Steps In Successfully Sustaining Your Solution
(The Roald Amundsen Class) | Tuesday May 17, 2p ET

Congratulations, Admiral! Your maiden Records Management voyage has been wildly successful, navigating the most beneficial route, staying on budget, and keeping your treasure chest of Records safe, all accomplished. Returning to all aboard back to safe harbor demonstrates your elementary navigation capabilities in previously-explored Records Management seas. But what’s next? What sirens, challenges, and uncharted quadrants of the briny deep are now calling your name, El Capitán? Let’s discuss where your next venture will – and should – take you next in the expansive seas of Records Management. The Sea Gods are watching you and hopefully on your side!

Financing Your Records Management Trip: How To Justify Your Budget and How Much Should Be In Your Treasure Chest
(The Leif Erikson Class)

As you embark on your Records Management journey at sea, we’ll examine how to establish your budget, beginning with how to tackle your initial “sanity check” step of obtaining preliminary vendor quotes. We’ll discuss a variety of hidden costs you may not expect, your long term cost of ownership, and how to evaluate alternative pricing models for acquisition. Bon voyage!
