Record and Information Management: Best Practices for In-House Counsel

Now more than ever companies struggle to manage an increasing abundance of records and information. Poor information management can lead to increased data breach risks, discovery inefficiencies, and even lost records. The consequences of information mismanagement are very real and include higher operating costs, fines and penalties, and reputational damage. Fortunately, many of these risks can be mitigated (and even prevented) through good information governance practices and developing a solid records retention schedule that supports defensible disposition.

Jennifer Chadband, JD, CRM, IGP, ECM^P and Richard Surber, JD, CRM, IGP, lead the information governance consulting division at Zasio, a Boise-based records management software and consulting company. During this presentation, Jenn and Rick will walk you through the basics of information governance and the steps required to develop, implement, and maintain a robust records management policy and retention schedule in your organization.
