Litigation Support

Kahn Consulting, in collaboration with ARMA and other organizations, has released a survey entitled GRC, E-discovery and RIM. One of the findings from the survey:

"Less than one quarter of organizations surveyed believe that their employees understand their [governance, risk management and compliance], [records and information management] and E-Discovery responsibilities and how to fulfill them. Only 9% of employees have a good understanding of how GRC impacts them; only 15% understand their Legal Hold and E-Discovery responsibilities; and only 21% understand how information should be retained and disposed of. Although 67% of those surveyed state that employee training is ?critical to their success,? the low confidence in employee awareness indicates that most organizations have more GRC, RIM, and E-Discovery training to do."

The survey includes a number of findings, basically indicating how much work remains to be done to increase awareness of GRC (Governance, Risk Management, Compliance), EDD (Electronic Data Discovery) and RIM (Records and Information Management) issues. The stats are not surprising, but nice to have them, along with several nice graphs for those of us who think in terms of PowerPoint presentations.
