Good afternoon Barkley,
I saw you speak at the AIIM conference here in Calgary last fall. We are a 13,000 plus organization supporting 100,000 plus and have multiple silo’d environments (e-environments and physical environments) and no money (non profit). Apart from your blog, could you direct me somewhere for honest, straight forward talk about IG on a shoestring? I have 20+ years devoted to RM and RIM in the public sector, so I’m not without a foundation. I have appreciated researching your work today and have found value in it that I will move forward. Thank you for your consideration…..g
Gillian,
Thanks for taking the time to contact me. There are very few resources out there regarding IG on a budget – most advice tends to focus on large organizations with sizable budgets.. However, I have actually been doing some work with smaller organizations (as well as the usual larger orgs) and have some ideas for you – give me a call 646-450-4468 and I’d be happy to chat about them.
Barclay
Please confirm the telephone number. Thanks
Corrected.
