Vendors, other associations, consultants, etc. all welcome as long as the event is educational and not completely self-serving, e.g., no demos. No charge to list your event or to access the list. 

If you're looking for a speaker, I'm available to speak at your chapter or event. For more details, see https://informata.blogspot.com/2022/06/im-available-to-speak-at-your-meeting.html; this post also lists a few other speakers who are available and quite good. I published a separate blog post about how to find speakers and what to look for at https://informata.blogspot.com/2022/06/finding-speakers-for-your-event-part-1.html.

Where is the IM Training - and Where are the Instructors?

I've been a trainer for more than 25 years. I was one of the original training partners for AIIM's ERM and ECM Master Classes, and taught what I think was the first AIIM ERM course in San Francisco in 2006. Since then I've taught more than 200 multi-day workshops and nearly as many full-day seminars and preconference workshops. And I've developed nearly two dozen courses in both instructor-led and self-paced online formats. 

I believe that instructor-led, and, ideally, in-person courses can be substantially more valuable to attendees. I don't believe that instructors know everything, or have all the answers, though I do believe that good instructors have lots of examples, and stories, and angles from which to approach their chosen topics to support the learning experience. But I'd argue that at least as important is the give & take between the students. Students have their own experiences and lessons learned to share. Even students who are completely new to a discipline or profession will have new and interesting questions for the class to consider. 

Before I left AIIM, I did some research across more than 60 training providers and more than 80 specific programs. Even in the depths of the pandemic, the overwhelming majority of those providers and courses were offered in an instructor-led, albeit remote, format. Many also offered cohort-based learning, online collaborative platforms, office hours, or similar means to engage outside of the normal structured course schedule. 

Why is it, then, that there is such a dearth of instructor-led training in the information governance and information management industry? AIIM hasn't offered it for several years, and I don't think ARMA has ever offered instructor-led training. There are one-off courses here and there, offered by the likes of Rob Bogue (change management), Lewis Eisen (policy development) and Robert Smallwood (information governance), but they also tend to focus on private courses rather than offering scheduled public courses. To the best of my knowledge, the only IM or adjacent association offering scheduled, instructor-led training is IAPP. 

I think the associations are missing a huge opportunity here. Instructor-led training is incredibly valuable, and if the course content is good and the course is marketed properly, it can generate significant revenues and margins. 

So, two questions for anyone reading this: 

1. Are there any other, perhaps for-profit, IG/IM/RM-y training providers who are looking for partners to deliver their instructor-led content? I'm flexible on the financials; I'm more interested in getting back into helping students grow and develop as an instructor. 

2. Are any of the industry associations willing to rethink their lack of instructor-led courses? I'm happy to do significant work to (re)convert training content into something that can be delivered effectively and meaningfully, and again, I'm flexible on what the revenue model could look like. 

If the answer to both of these is no, I can write, and in fact have started to write, my own training content, but it saddens me that there is so much otherwise good content out there that is stuck in self-paced, sink-or-swim-on-your-own mode.

Celebrating RIM Month 2023

There has been a lot of discussion the last couple of months about how to celebrate Records and Information Management (RIM) Month. I find myself in the fortunate position of working with a client who “gets it” and wants to leverage campaigns like RIM Month and Data Privacy Week (January) to bring awareness to effective RIM and information governance practices.

With their permission, I’m sharing a high-level look at what we’re doing this month. Every day there’s something, and every week there’s a larger activity. Here’s what this looks like.

Ongoing/every day

We’re leveraging ARMA’s RIM Month resources – the RIM month image for email signatures and the RIM posters. We also turned the image into a Teams/Zoom background and are encouraging the core IG team and the broader community of records coordinators to use them this month.

The records coordinators have their own Teams channel, and we’re posting daily recordkeeping tips. Some of these are more business-focused, while others deal directly with personal recordkeeping. For example, on April 17, Tax Day in the U.S., we’ll post a reminder that U.S. taxpayers don’t need to keep their tax returns for forever – three years is generally what the IRS recommends (but we also tell them to consult their accountant if they have one).

Coffee talks and/or office hours. These are less-formal opportunities for staff to exchange information (coffee talks) or ask questions (office hours) on all things RIM. We’re scheduling these weekly during RIM Month and then monthly after that.

Weekly Special Events

• Scavenger Hunt. To set this up, determine the number of items to include – we used 10. All items in the hunt are related to RM. In our case, we took existing documents such as the RIM policy, other guidance documents, and even events and news stories and posted codes, e.g., RIMMONTH2023, that could be entered into a form. Entrants who complete the hunt get entered into a drawing for a prize – maybe a good cross-cut shredder?
• Lunch & Learn. We decided to focus on personal recordkeeping as a way to make RM more directly applicable to attendees. We’ll talk about how long to keep personal records and documents, how to get rid of them appropriately, and some tips for improving email management.
• Shred Day. This is pretty self-explanatory; we’re timing it to take place after Tax Day and encouraging folks to bring in their old files to be securely destroyed.
• RM Jeopardy. There are a few sites that will let you set up a Jeopardy-style game pretty easily; there are also PowerPoint templates and instructions for doing it that way. The point is to have some fun and provide some RM trivia tidbits, both general and specific to the organization.  

Other Possibilities

These are things that I saw others share, but which we decided not to do because we’re already doing so much.

• Records management quiz. There are any number of free quiz-makers out there; good questions might come from the RIM policy, training videos, RIM month resources, etc. Maybe have a small prize for the winner or for all participants.
• RM Tips & Tricks Challenge. The suggestion here was to submit a list of your top three tips, tricks, or tools for managing your information better. The suggestions would then be consolidated and made available as a resource.
• RM Bingo. You could do something similar to the scavenger hunt; you could also leverage your daily RM tips. Again, lots of bingo card generators out there.
• Crossword puzzle using RM terms. Lots of crossword generators available online too.
• Educational videos. These don’t have to be that long, and in the age of YouTube and TikTok, they don’t have to be that polished. Take the questions you’re most frequently asked and turn them into 30 seconds- to 1-minute long videos.
• Branded RM “swag” – mugs, travel mugs, coasters, etc. This does take more prior planning and budget, but it’s not outrageously expensive depending on which direction you take it.
• Cleanup days. There are so many ways to take this:
• Clean up your email
• Clean up your desk
• Clean up your personal paper documents and records
• Clean up your OneDrive, Box, Dropbox, or whatever other less-formal platform(s) you use for sharing and collaborating

You could even do a different one every week. The key here is not just to announce it – but give your employees tips and guidance on how to do it effectively. This is also an opportunity to remind them to check with RM if they have questions.

Credit Where Due

I want to thank Ryan Zilm in particular for a number of insightful suggestions, including a Governance Carnival with carnival-style games, and a RIM Escape Room. As he noted in the ARMA Community, “Have many more ideas to share if you like. This stuff excites me!!” He has given me permission to share his email if you have questions – but be aware, he does have a day job, so please be patient! You can reach Ryan at ryanmzilm@gmail.com. 

Special thanks to the additional people who shared ideas in various forums including the ARMA Community and the AIIM Community:

• Sharon Burnett
• Anne Cornish
• Gretchen Bauman
• Beth Thomes
• Kristen Nemoede
• Randi Mauro
• Elizabeth Hansen
• Marissa Clevenger
• John Daly
• Donda Young
