Dear John,

 

I am giving the keynote address for ARMA International's June meeting in KC
on the subject of governance and corporate ownership of ERM, and have dealt
with these issues in the trenches and have had some degree of success.  I
would be pleased to discuss the subject with you.  My contact information is
set forth below if you would like to speak sometime tomorrow or Monday.  I
am tied up in meetings the rest of the day today.

 

Best regards,

 

 

Rick Wolf

Subject: Records Management Organizational Reporting Structures

 

To the Listserv:

 

If you have some perspectives on the nature of the best/worst reporting

structures or experiences that you can share with me, I would very much

appreciate it. I am to lead a Town Hall style discussion of this topic at

the upcoming MER Conference in Chicago at the end of April (see

http://www.merconference.com/session153.html ). As you can see from the

session listing, there are a number of potential issues raised by reporting

relationships including:

 

Who owns the ERM Program or Project? 

What level of Executive participation is required? 

What have been the differences in experiences when RM reported to IT, Legal

Counsel, a Business Unit, or the CIO? 

What are the risks of different organizational placements for ERM

initiatives? 

How does organizational positioning impact ERM Program liaison

relationships? 

Will budgets and resources be affected by the reporting structure? 

How can performance commitments be impacted by the organization chart? 

 

In searching the Listserv archives, it is apparent that reporting

relationships in organizations can tremendously impact the Records

Management Programs success and influence in the organization. We can

discuss these issues a bit on the Listserv or you can e-mail comments and

insights to me privately at [log in to unmask] Just knowing the

reporting relationship helps but I think we really want to know what works

and has caused "issues." 

 

All direct replies to me at [log in to unmask] will be held in

confidence and only generalized in the presentations of the results.

 

Thanks - John
