Learn how to achieve effective information governance and compliance when collaborative tools are in use.
Leveraging GARP® to Achieve Organizational Excellence
Saturday, November 6
Facilitated by John Montaña, J.D.
The ability for an organization to govern its conduct and ethics is now made easier with the release of the Generally Accepted Recordkeeping Principles® (GARP®), but what is its value to an organization, to regulating bodies, and to society? We will examine the requirements of the GARP® principles, the use of the GARP® Maturity Model, and the role each plays in assessing GARP® compliance and developing a GARP® program. You will walk away with a practical strategy for implementing GARP® within your organization.
