widespread and growing problem among professionals
around the world, and one that exacts a heavy toll in terms of
productivity, performance, and employee morale.

Deleting and discarding information without fully reading it
Delivering incomplete documents, e-mails or other communications
because the necessary information could not be found
Disagreements with colleagues about the right way to organize
information
Wasting time searching for old emails or documents
Needing to re-create documents because previously created versions
could not be found

your organization’s needs and processes
Who in your organization creates documents?

21. Plan Policies and Content Control
Information management policy is a set of rules for a type of
content. It can help organization to comply with legally mandated
requirements.
It can specify:
Who can access your document
How long the document can be retained

22. Bringing it All Together
Know what content management means for your organization.
This will help you design the solution that fits your
organization’s needs.
Define content stakeholders’ roles and responsibilities. These
are the people that will support your solution and help ensure
its success.
Identify how users adapt to change. Just because there are
more efficient ways to do things doesn’t mean that users will
adopt them. Content management can be a big change.
Communicate the value of the new solutions, and how they
can make the users’ tasks easier.
