Subject: Re: My new blog post "Understanding Information Governance from the Perspective of 'Lean' Thinking"
Here are my thoughts:
1) Somebody read a book while they were on vacation.
2) I like this part, " the rubric of IG". I don't have a clue what it means, and I doubt any general audience would, but it sounds cool.
3) I also like this, "focus on the business value stream". Another buzz phrase. Is business value a stream or a pond? I don't know, does it matter?
4) Whenever someone talks about a value stream or a uses phrases like, "the I.T. space"' or the "Information Governance space", I start wondering how long it will be before they want to pitch me something that is going to cost something in the "money space".
5) I don't focus on waste, I focus on value, which you suggest is correct in relation to ARMA, but not really correct if you look at it from the "lean thinking space". Have I been doing the wrong thing for 27 years?
6) Paragraph's are your friend, consider using them. "ARMA's Generally Accepted..." would be a good place to start a new paragraph because your last thought was completed and you are on a different thought.
7) Fads, they come and go. Did someone just move my cheese?

Subject: [RM] My new blog post "Understanding Information Governance from the Perspective of 'Lean' Thinking"
Dearest Colleagues,
I'm back from vacation. Here's my latest blog post. As always, please let me know what you think. I value your ideas!
"Understanding Information Governance from the Perspective of 'Lean'
Thinking"
Lean strategy is concerned with improving customer value while reducing waste. The customers of Information Governance include the client or citizen. While many parties now included under the rubric of IG: content and document management product companies, integrators, and consultants, eDiscovery experts, search and taxonomy development companies, data management product companies and consultants, and information technology employees focus on the business value stream, only one included group focuses on waste, a key concept of Lean strategy: records management. ARMA's Generally Accepted Recordkeeping Principles of Retention and Disposition are all about placing a value on information. Records management has been responsible for ensuring only information that continues to have value, or for which destruction would create a negative value (risk) is provisioned and protected.
