Recap: Records Management Network - Inspiring talks and fresh ideas!
Our recent Records Management Network (RMN) meeting was a resounding success, with over 230 attendees joining both online and in-person at the Victorian Archives Centre.
The session commenced with an insightful presentation by Andrew Warland, a recognised expert in Microsoft 365. Andrew shed light on the complexities of managing records through this platform, offering valuable guidance to help organisations optimise their records management practices.
This set the stage perfectly for our next speakers, Len Nally and Dheeraj Rawal from Coliban Water, who shared their organisation's digital transformation journey in the records and information management space. Their presentation underscored why this transformation is particularly significant within the water sector.
Following the break, Kate Sullivan delivered an engaging talk on the Department of Education's Records Management Strategy. She emphasised how having a clear, structured approach can significantly enhance compliance across an organisation and drive meaningful improvements.
To close the session, Shaan Bajwa from Department of Government Services explored her work with the Data Sharing Agreement, which aims to support public offices in ensuring effective oversight, consistency, cost management, risk mitigation and best practices. Her presentation also highlighted the vital importance of meeting privacy and security obligations within Victoria and across jurisdictions.
These diverse and interconnected topics provided attendees with a wealth of knowledge and practical insights into records management practices.
For those who could not join or wish to revisit the discussions, a recording of the session is now available. We also welcome your feedback and encourage anyone interested in presenting at future RMN events to reach out to Marianne O'Hara - marianne.ohara@prov.vic.gov.au
