Linked – This New Study Shows That People Who ‘Think Backwards’ Are More Successful
I don’t know, did we really need a study to show this? “The researchers ran a series of studies asking participants to plan for an important event or goal, like the meeting with their boss or launching their new company. In one study, they asked students to create a study plan for a final exam…
Linked: 3 eDiscovery Lessons From COVID-19 Shutdown
The first line of the first lesson is one I totally agree with: “It’s said that major events don’t so much change our culture as they simply reveal what was already there.” I feel like Jeff should have reminded himself of that first line when writing the rest of it, because yes, it’s true that…
Linked – Failure to terminate access of departing employee leads to HIPAA penalty

Linked: The Future of Remote Workplaces: 3 Things You Must Have for Better Employee Mental Health

But, don’t do them just because you want to run a team. You can say you want open communication, but that requires you to care about what they have to say, including things that are hard.

Too many people in management have not cared about that stuff for too long. Thankfully that is changing. It’s been a long time coming.
Worth Reading – RIM Is Moving Upstream
Instead of starting your work in a blank Word document or spreadsheet, start in Copilot chat, then move it to a Copilot page, which is a Loop file. From there, you drop part of the page, a component, into chat for live collaboration with your team, or you work together in the Loop app, with Copilot assisting again and drop the new draft into an email, linked to the web version for easier editing by the entire team, until finally, at the very end of this process, you create a PDF of the final product, and add it to your “records” location.
Thus, only the final version ever gets stored as a record. All the prior versions are gone. Work that is still in progress is not a record, but accessible to AI tools. This is the conundrum for RIM.
