GARP

GARP is a great tool for RIM or information professionals.  These basic principles give us a picture of what our programs should look like, what components we should have in the program and what results we can expect.  Developing a RIM Program with these principles is important.  Other professionals are beginning to use these principles for determining what RIM should have, do and be within an organization.  They are often referenced in the same conversation as the Sedona Principles.  The maturity model gives us a way to measure ourselves, set initiative, improve our programs and continue to demonstrate success.

I, too, would like to hear what others have done within their organizations.  Does anyone have any documents they would be willing to share (project plans, templates, check lists, etc.)? Methods used to get buy-in and get started...

GARP really didn't "speak to me" at first.  It's only started to sink in when I've heard how others are using it to implement projects in their organizations.  So, I'd like to hear more about that: who's used GARP , why did they use it, in what ways - specifically - did they use it, and what benefits did it bring?

As am I, Julie.  It's the GWDC chapter's theme for our 2011-2012 program year, and initial polling seems to indicate there is quite a bit of opportunity to help folks tie some of their "issues that keep them awake at night" to GARP.  Looking forward to it.

I will be right by your side at Conference Julie.  I am interested in hearing about how different organizations have planned or have actually began implementing GARP within their information governance structure.  I took notes for Fred last year and will do the same again this year if needed.  Thanks Julie!  Looking forward to it!

We are just about a month away from ARMA International's 2011 Conference and Expo, and this year's GARP Roundtable session! 

 

As the facilitator for this year's Roundtable, I'd love to hear what topics you'd like to be discussed.

 

Are you wanting to know more about GARP in general, what successes/barriers people have encountered as they have begun implementing GARP in their organizations ... something else?  Maybe you have ideas of where GARP should be headed, GARP-related products you'd like to see developed, or new ways to think about and DO information governance in the real world?

 

If you are planning to attend the Conference, I encourage you to attend the Roundtable and share your thoughts, ideas and experiences ... and if you aren't able to attend Conference, I hope you'll consider sharing your thoughts, ideas and experiences here!

Everything changes, and it either evolves with us or it dies. Like any other document of guidelines (ex: Our Constitution) has ammendments, changes or edits. I think that the foundation will always be very strong and as time goes by we build on it. I believe that is where innovators attribute and aspire to show us how we can improve our best practices. For now it provides a certain structure to our industry, or our global language to each other.

GARP provided an effective framework for dealing with the challenges of Web 2.0 and E 2.0 in the ARMA draft standard open for comment until Sep 20, 2010 at .

GRAP is fundmental for every organization. Nevertheless some steps have to be done for going ahead in the sense of evolution. New realities require new practice and way of doing and dealing with Archives and Records.
Some research can be done in the future in order to improve the basic principles of Archives and Records management.

Diane,

Your presentation of this concept is one I first heard a while back from Martin Susec during an industry group conference call. GARP is nothing new, it is the culmination of decades of developing standards and best practices, it is the evolution of traditional Records Management blended with policies, accountability, and transparency (the latter 2 being actual principles themselves). Together GARP formulates a clear, concise, digestible package, executives can buy in to, law-makers and regulators can understand, and traditional RIM practioners wholeheartedly embrace.

GARP truly is the "executive summary" of all of our best practices, standards, and guidelines rolled up to the right level for optimal comprehension across the board. What we will do next with GARP really presents the optimism and excitement. Thanks for sharing your perspective.
