You have just been given ownership of your company’s records management or broader information governance program with a clear mandate: bring it up to date to be in compliance, and while you are at it modernize it to effectively manage electronic information. But where should you begin? How do you distinguish between essential record program components and those that are merely “nice to have?” Which internal groups should you collaborate with, and how do you estimate timelines and budgets, especially in an environment of limited resources?
Join Mark Diamond and Tom Mighell for an engaging ACC Information Governance Network Legal Update as they outline key steps and critical considerations for managing a successful records program:
Evaluating your current records management capabilities and creating program a roadmap.
Executing and enforcing records management policies for both paper-based and electronic records.
Deciding whether to invest in new technology or leverage existing systems.
Determining appropriate staffing levels and selecting the right skillsets.
Gaining buy-in from business units to make records management a priority across the organization.
Participate in this interactive session and equip yourself with the tools and strategies needed to successfully lead your company’s records and information governance program forward. Join us for what is certain to be a lively discussion.

Tom Mighell
Vice President of Delivery Services
Contoural, Inc.
I work with corporations and their lawyers to develop defensible information governance programs, including the development of policies, retention schedules, procedures, records management organizations, and training materials to ensure employees understand and adopt changes to their records management practices. I also work with organizations to assess their privacy risks, and to implement the policies and processes to help them comply with relevant privacy regulations.
I also work with these companies to ensure that their people, processes and technologies will support an efficient, repeatable, and defensible e-discovery process, when electronic records are requested in litigation, investigations, or other legal matters. I assist corporations in assessing their readiness to respond to an electronic discovery obligation, and develop response plans that companies can use to strengthen the credibility of their e-discovery programs.
