Recently, the concept of an \u201cInformation Governance (IG)\u201d program has grown within the records and information management professions. While there has been many interpretations on what this means and involves, records and information managers need to be prepared to implement and become involved in such programs. An IG program helps manage risk with information while also achieving the office\u2019s desired goals, whether with developing a text messaging policy to designing a document management system for the office. <\/p>\n\n\n

Information Governance Reference Model (IGRM) <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An IG strategy seeks to \u201cpromote cross-functional dialogue and collaboration\u201d between your IT, Legal, Compliance, RM, and other stakeholders who need to manage or access information in their daily work.\u201d 1 The Information Governance Reference Model (IGRM) helps articulate what each of these groups provide towards the information governance structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The IGRM helps show that when working together, different departments of an office can help achieve their work, support other departmental needs or requirements, and ultimately sync policy with process. Imagine how smoothly a new system implementation would go when the office had consulted the business unit for needed features, security teams for safety features, IT services for system design, records managers for retention of records, and legal for compliance\/audit needs are met.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
