Records Management and Humor: An Odd Couple
October 27, 2011
Records management is a dry topic, not exactly humorless but close. We must admit that one of the goslings chuckles when he hears the phrase “destroy by date.” I just go up in ARMA.
We learned that there was some levity with regard to records management at the recent Legal Information Technology Conference, part of the wider ARMA conference in D.C., it was suddenly newsworthy comedy.
Law Technology News’ article, “Records Management as Stand-Up Comedy” shares a few quips from the conference:
Bryn Bowen, director of records information management at Greenberg Traurig, on establishing information governance in large firms: ‘We are sort of changing the tires while moving the truck.
Stacie Capshaw, associate director of records management at Kirkland & Ellis, said she was able to accomplish records management because her firm is ‘a loose federation of entrepreneurs.’
Rudy Moliere, director of information governance and records management at White & Case, observed that records management is ‘not at all like herding cats — you can see cats.’”
Kudos to those in records management for attempting a form of humor—those legal record managers can be a tough crowd. Did you hear the one about leaving lunch in a banker’s box three years ago?
