Actually I agree with you Glen - I do not try and explain the records continuum to my clients - the lifecycle model is a far easier concept to explain and for them to understand.

My experience is that the continuiuiuiuum model may be a useful tool for
RM folks, but end users, who earn the money to pay the salaries of RM
folks, are not interested. They do understand the concept of life cycle
(explains retention and disposal), and half life (explains when to move to
secondary storage). They also understand that life cycle is a
generalisation and there will be variations and exceptions in specific
cases.
Valid though the continuum model may be, and useful though it may be for
me, in planning and managing, it is too specialised for our customers.
Maybe it's (wait for it, drum roll . . . ) too academic?
Cheers

These views are mine alone. They may or may not be those of any
previous or present employers or clients. I don't know. If I'd asked
and they'd agreed, I would have signed it "Harry Peck and Co and
Glenn". Or whatever. But I haven't, so I didn't.
