Information Governance: The Gateway to Cost Reduction and Increased Customer Satisfaction
In recent weeks, I have spent a significant amount of time discussing the benefits of implementing an information governance strategy with clients. Although these discussions may have different starting points, there are often similar rationales driving the investigation into information governance.

Translating value into risk: why do we keep so many emails?
There’s an ongoing internal debate about the size of our email boxes. This debate, in common with similar going on in many organisations, is centred around the impression that email boxes are too small, that we need more storage space for our carefully hoarded collection of emails, very rarely though, does anyone ask “Why are you keeping so much?”

Don’t ask for a budget. Start doing it
Some departments struggle with getting a bit of the big budget pie for their newly initiated social media project. Since if you want to do it well, you most likely need one fte or maybe even some more who take care of your this social media project. However what if you don’t get a piece of the budget pie and you cannot have an fte for your social media project? Should you then just wait …
How to support your self-appointed social media evangelists
2002: The digital world is recovering from the dot-com crash and Friendster emerges as one of the first social media networks closely followed by Linkedin and MySpace. Since then many companies have faced problems caused by social media from unfortunate messages posted on branded channels to potential loss of revenue due to Facebook usage and we all learned the word: “Damage Control”.

SAP HANA: the impact of a disruptive technology
When Thomas Edison had invented the phonograph, he had intended it to be used as a sort of Dictaphone like device. I.e. it was to be used to record spoken messages that could later on be replayed. In this way, he intended it to be a professional device, which was marketed as such. Recording and playing back music was something he considered to be more or less a gimmick, a side effect. From the phonograph …
Getting the response we need
We are all extremely busy and we have no time to read email and to reply. It’s time for an approach that fully embraces the “less is more” strategy.

Your answer probably is ‘no’. No one likes to get long emails. Train, …
