How do I ensure Information Management Compliance?

AIIM published some time ago a book called Information Nation with Randolph A. Kahn, Esq., and Barclay T. Blairs that provides you with a seven step approach to information management compliance. It provides you with a business approach to evaluate, design, or improve current information management practices. The Seven Keys to information management compliance that the authors advance are designed to help professionals in each of those areas understand their responsibilities and what they must contribute to their organization's information management effort, and the seven steps are:

• Good policies and procedures
• Executive-level responsibility
• Proper delegation
• Program communication & training
• Auditing and monitoring to measure compliance
• Effective & consistent enforcement
• Continuous improvement
