Notas do Editor
- Here is a methodology for conducting an information inventory. We start with the recommendation that the organisation conduct the inventory as a series of department- or business-unit-level mini-inventories. Taken together, the department inventories comprise an organisational inventory.Identify all the departments in the organisation.Scope and plan a data collection strategy that enables you to engage one or two departments at a time. For each department, Set up appointments to interview some or all department employees about their documents.Prior to interviewing, where possible, review the department’s processes to learn about their work.Prior to interviewing, review existing document management policies and procedures at the departmental and organisational level.
- 5. Prior to interviewing and where you can gain access, review the contents of departmental file shares and document repositories6. Interview department employees about their documents. Take detailed notes and ask clarifying questions to ensure that no processes or document types are missed. Pay particular attention to both physical and electronic documents. 7. Create a list of documents for the department.8. Examine the contents of any organisation-wide document repositories, such as intranets. Record the findings in an inventory list.
- 9. Create a log of all data repositories used in the organisation. This includes:File sharesEmail serversERMS repositoriesBack-up serversFile cabinetsOff-site storage areasPreserve the departmental inventories until all inventories are complete.10. When you have covered all departments, assemble a single, organisation-wide inventory.11. Create a process and a timeline for periodically updating the inventory.
- At this point I’d be pleased to entertain your questions.
