Now is an excellent opportunity to review and improve your current Information Management processes and measure efficiency. In these turbulent times, we may question ourselves: Am I operating at maximum efficiency? Are all my company’s processes in place, up to date, and clearly communicated on a regular basis? These questions are relevant for all levels and types of operations. Information Management is no exception; managing your paper and electronic records is a vital part of your operation. While fewer management and staff are physically at the office, this can make transfer of information more complicated in certain ways, but also provides an opportunity to take the pulse of your information efficiency. The Information Management Assessment list below offers a window to look at some of your Records and Information Management processes. Are they working efficiently? Do some or all need improvement? Do they need a completely new look and information overhaul? This is not just about cutting cost but positioning your company for success by operating better than your competitor.

As we slowly start to repopulate our offices, things will never be the same, but the associated issues can be minimized by evaluating your processes, making targeted changes, and continuing consistent communications. These processes are not static. The more streamlined you become, the better positioned you will be to focus on gaps, be flexible, and address process issues. Doing things the right way is not always easy, but it will produce results and make your company maintain its competitive edge.

Do you have enough time to make these changes? If not, then Information Governance consultants can help provide bandwidth to provide detailed processes, analyze your unique current state, and implement changes to reduce future risk and drive efficiency.
