In many organizations, the mission and messages of the information governance (or records and information management) program may not be effectively communicated to staff, leaders, contractors, and other stakeholders. There are a number of reasons for this, including the priority, or lack thereof, given to your program; IG staff communication skills; budgetary constraints; and other factors. 

This presentation will provide attendees with a variety of ideas, potential tools, and methods to identify within their organizations that can be used to improve their odds of having their IG voices heard above the roar of the crowd. As a result, IG and RIM professionals will be able to raise awareness of their IG mission, vision, methods, and resources. 

In addition, in today's political climate in which many regulations may be rolled back, IG and RIM programs need to become more focused on the mission of the organization and on making or keeping operations more efficient and effective, rather than on compliance. This imperative has always existed within the RIM and IG spaces, but the focus on it may be increasing soon.
