  • More EDRMS and Microsoft 365

    We continue on from the last two episodes, where we talked about how EDRMS has failed for government and the opportunities and risks for managing information in Microsoft 365. Includes some chat about digital disposition / disposal and the range of reasons that government agencies keep information beyond typical appraisal criteria.

  • The failure of EDRMS

    Time to address something head on: electronic document and records management systems have failed, if we're talking about government recordkeeping in practice. Failure analysis is important for figuring out what we need to do.

    We discuss what EDRMS is, what we think success looks like, what are some reasons that hasn't happened in real life - and, as always, would love to hear your thoughts!

  • Understand the information landscape

    Judi takes point, talking about how to get the big picture and what that means. Also that it doesn't need to be a long, slow thing. How do you make useful tactical changes, creating a virtuous cycle AND have confidence that you're heading in the right direction? Start by understanding the information landscape.

  • Creating virtuous cycles

    The opposite of a vicious circle, creating a virtuous cycle is about asking: what are those things we do or could do that would allow us to do bigger and better things? With a side order of pondering about relationships with IT and how to get the right access to Microsoft 365!
