Hello,
I have recently been appointed to the post of Corporate Records Project Manager in Warrington Borough Council, and am initiating a project to look at improving the council's records management practices. Key objectives include production of a council-wide Records Management Policy and retention schedules (to replace current more fragmented arrangements), and also to review current fragmented arrangements for offsite document storage.
One key driver is an impending office redevelopment which will see council officers move to a new smaller footprint office with limited paper storage facilities; so I will be looking to establish the case for digital transformation versus document disposal or increased offsite storage where appropriate.
I am hoping to establish contacts with other councils who have recently undertaken similar records management improvement programmes ... ideally in the North West so I can potentially visit, but all contacts are welcome. I am particularly keen to gather / exchange any information and experiences about production of retention policies & schedules, making a business case for digital transformation, and business engagement with service users to drive culture change.
I should say that I am pretty new to records management ... I have spent the past year reviewing some aspects of the council's current arrangements before being appointed to my current post; but before that my background was in business analysis, process improvement and project management.
I look forward to hearing form anyone who can provide any help / insights on this journey.
