Hi all, and with apologies for preemptive crossposting,
I know this isn't *exactly* what Rick was looking for, but I think it may be
germane anyway. AIIM has developed a course on electronic records management
(actually created by Cornwell Management Consultants and Oxford Learning
Group) that will be going live in the next six weeks. The course is
comprised of four parts:
1. Strategy - the high-level view
2. Practitioner - what is it, the basics
3. Specialist - how do you implement it, get stakeholder approval, etc.
4. Case study - bringing everything together.
Full disclosure: I will be one of the instructors for the onsite courses. My
experience teaching CDIA+ has been that lots of discussion happens during
class where attendees share their horror stories, lessons learned, and best
practices. I expect the same of the ERM course.
For more information on the courses, visit
http://www.aiim.org/education/erm.asp (and companion ECM course at
http://www.aiim.org/education/ecm.asp). On the site you will see a
preliminary list of scheduled courses; as I schedule more courses for
Feb-June I will post them there and to the list directly.
Cheers,

Yes, but Rick (and other RMs) need the documentation ABOUT how YOU made your
system operational. Your experiences, road blocks, lessons learned etc.

Subject: Electronic Records Implementations
Dear colleagues:
Please ignore cross postings.
I am wrapping up a review of an excellent new book by Julie McLeod and
Catherine Hare, "Managing Electronic Records" for publication in the Records
Management Journal. Most of what I read and hear about at conferences
concerning electronic records has to do with the upstream aspects of ER --
theory, research, strategy, policy, planning, standards and best practices
related to ER. These are all topics essential to the implementation of
electronic records solutions; however, so are the downstream aspects of
implementation. Discussions of systems that have actually been implemented
long enough to do post-implementation assessments, develop some lessons
learned and identify and make system adjustments can be extremely invaluable
assets to those doing the implementations and to others externally in
varying sectors and internationally.
I will be noting as one of its best contributions of this book, that it
includes, 3 very well written case studies of actual electronic records
implementations in the public and private sectors. I'd like to learn to what
extent this is a rather unique feature of this book because there is a
dearth of ER implementation cases versus people simply not taking the time
to write such cases up for the literature, or an unwillingness to share such
information because it is regarded as competitive in nature. While I've had
the experience with private sector organizations indicating the latter, my
general sense is that there simply aren't many cases out there to write
about, even after 20 years of discussions on the upstream aspects.
Some off-list personal exchanges with educators and other authors in the
field have confirmed this. I turn to the lists to put the same issue to
colleagues more generally. I welcome on or off-list reactions and
implementation citations.
Regards,
Rick Barry
