Our friends at ARMA Atlanta are presenting a FREE Zoom webinar:

Handling the Seven Deadly Stakeholders

Tuesday, February 15, 2022
11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.

Abstract: As records and information have transitioned from paper-based to digital, the sheer volume of records to manage has proliferated exponentially. Privacy and cybersecurity challenges have risen sharply; and digital landfills are sprouting up all over. The days of the records manager being solely in control of information are over (if they were ever truly here). Records managers must now negotiate with a variety of stakeholders to effectively manage the records in their organizations - and some of them can be difficult! This session will overview seven types of typical difficult stakeholders that records and information management (RIM) practitioners have to deal with in a “7 deadly sins” context: apathetic, hostile, too busy, dismissive, misinformed, helpless, and saboteurs. For each type, we will examine the reasons underpinning the behavior and present practical tips for combatting each behavior. The goal is to provide RIM practitioners with the ability to recognize the motivations of each stakeholder and to win them over as RIM supporters.

Speaker Bio: Mary Beth Weaver, CRM, MLS, Vice President, DC Services - Cadence Group, has over twenty years of professional experience as a RIM consultant providing expertise in electronic records cleanup, Freedom of Information Act records management, hotline and docket supervision, records facility storage, and project management.
