Records and information management, in this exponentially growing technological era, has enjoyed its relevance but has also weakened its competitiveness as organizations seek to search for faster way to access information, make decisions, and ultimately, retain indefinitely everything in cyberspace.

The coordinated strategies will reposition practitioners and ultimately restructure the change management agenda of the organization. It is experiential and allows practitioners an opportunity to use templates as aids.
