Now comes the interesting part, the afternoon session. Not saying the morning
wasn't, but the afternoon was quite different from what I expected. Essentially
we spent the afternoon working in pairs on a very expensive computer based
simualtion. The simulation used a scenario to prompt you to make choices and
implement interventions to get employees on your side. The fictitious company
had a selection of employees that you had to manage and work out the best way to
make smaller to progressively larger changes , ensuring you had most people "on
board". It was really very good, and using the "game" simulation ensured that
this poentially dry subject was delivered in an engaging and stimulating manner. -

So I found it very useful to read the JISC infoNET Risk Management infoKit.

It’s quite an easy to read, common sense approach to information management
in a workplace context. -

Blog post on JISC infoNet's Impact Calculator
-
At first glance, a records management impact calculator does not seem like the most interesting thing, but the new JISC Impact Calculator is a must-have for anyone trying to justify improvements to their records management program.

For example, I recently met with the director of a small human resources firm to discuss the records management problems his company was having. Files were difficult to locate, duplicates would up everywhere, everyone who accessed the server could create new folders, and the paper filing cabinet reflected the manner in which the owner thought about his clients and not the way he thought about his records or his business. The owner and his staff routinely found it difficult to locate files or know where to put files. I proposed a modest records management plan that would harmonize the paper filing cabinet with the server, recommend retention periods for different types of records, and generally reorganize the file to reflect the organization of his business. The total amount this director was hoping to spend on such plan? $200-300. I informed this business owner that records management consultants charge at an absolute minimum $25/hour and most charge double that or more. Needless to say, we did not proceed with my recommendations. It seems that when the economy is tough and businesses trim costs, records management consultations are among the first to go.
