It is interesting you mention it as the fourth resource. There is a book with that title on that topic from 1999. I have not read it, although would be interested to know if anyone has and can share their views on it. http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=fefsAAAAMAAJ&q=contents Best, Lawrence From: Graham, Sarah (Records Management) [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: 10 May 2012 12:32 To: Lawrence Serewicz; [log in to unmask] Subject: RE: Governance policies solve information paradoxes | ITWeb [Does anyone have this covered in their organisation?] Hi Lawrence This article is very interesting, thank you for sharing it. I've always felt that information should be treated as a important organisational resource but as you say, it is not given the same weight as for example, financial resources. This is why it is very rare that there is an overarching strategy around records management in organisations. We have buildings, people and financial resources...information should be seen as the fourth resource. Within Newcastle City Council we have policies and procedures around Information Governance and we have an Information Governance Strategy at Corporate level but this work is limited due to lack of staff resources and therefore is not something that is well known throughout the council. I too would be very interested to know if there are any organisations out there who have a Strategy for records management that is company / corporate wide and is actually being used rather than being a document on a shelf... Thanks again for raising this Lawrence.
