What Do Lawyers Need to Know About Information Governance?
February 11, 2014
The correct answer is "a lot." John and I were fortunate to have Jason Baron as our guest on our latest Legal Talk Network Digital Detectives podcast.
As many of you know, Jason is the former director of litigation at the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration and now serves with the Information Governance and E-Discovery Practice Group at the law firm of Drinker Biddle and Reath in Washington, DC. Information Governance has all sorts of implications for e-discovery, privacy, record keeping and security.
Jason also talks about the new Information Governance Initiative which is a cross-disciplinary consortium and think tank focused on advancing information governance. It is dedicated to moving forward the adoption of Information Governance practices and technologies through research, publishing, advocacy and peer-to-peer networking. The IGI publishes research, benchmarking surveys, and guidance for practitioners that is freely available on its website. Later this year the IGI will be adding an online community designed to foster discussion and networking among practitioners.
So have a listen to the podcast and a look at the website. This is an exciting new development in the world of Information Governance, a term which has been around for a while, but is now catching fire.
