ARMA Canada has issued its call for speakers and poster session presenters for the upcoming 2013 ARMA Canada conference to be held in Saskatoon, June 2-5, 2013.  Uta Fox, CRM is the new Program Director (my 4 year term ended with the 2012 conference in Nanaimo) and I’m sure ARMA Canada will continue to provide informative and innovative education sessions under her very capable leadership.  Speaking or presenting at an ARMA Canada conference is an excellent way to highlight your expertise and accomplishments, raise your professional profile, and get valuable exposure for your organization in the Canadian RIM community.

The 2013 conference theme is “Mining RIM Resources”, and applications are being accepted in four domains:

  1. The Principles (Generally Accepted Recordkeeping Principles, Governance, Risk, etc.)
  2. IT & Collaborative Technologies (IT, Social Media, MER, etc.)
  3. RIM & the Business of RIM (RIM issues, Professional Development, Leadership, Business Functions, Communication/Marketing, Project Management, CRM, Archives, Legal, etc.
  4. RIM in the Oil, Gas and Minding Industry (Industry Specific Stream)

Applications close on December 1, 2012, so don’t delay!  For more information or to apply, visit the conference site.

    Case in Point

    That's A Lot of Records!
    Often the requirement for a needs assessment is driven by a specific initiative being considered or an immediate problem to be solved, rather than a general desire to establish a corporate (or organization-wide) IM program. We had a client wanting to improve its management of a specific group of critical records – thousands of member files in paper, microform and digital formats containing hundreds of unique document types.
    Assess, Plan and Schedule
    Ergo reviewed the organization’s current practices for managing those records, compared those practices to best practices, and identified risks and areas for improvement. From there we developed a strategic plan with a focus on records storage and retention. The plan identified the operational, financial and technological requirements for implementing the recommended changes, improvements and enhancements in the lifecycle management of the member records. Activities in the plan were classified as short term (next 6-12 months), medium term (next 12-24 months) and longer term (next 25+ months).
    Step by Step Success
    Implementation of the strategic plan enabled this organization to ensure its member records are properly identified, organized, accessible, protected and retained as long as necessary to meet operational and other requirements.
