Linked: The Original EDRM Has Run Its Course – Is it Time for an In Situ E-Discovery Model?

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

Anne Kershaw’s LinkedIn post definitely provides some food for thought. Personally, I would agree that, eventually, this approach should be the recommended one:

As is obvious, the huge change with the In Situ model is that by and large the corporate data doesn’t move. It stays in place as different analytical capabilities are applied to it.

But, as I said, for all of the benefits of leaving data where it is, limiting the movement and copies of data that exist, and being able to get to it quicker, there is one big “IF” that I’m not so confident about.

That is, this model works IF you have good information governance tools and policies in place, and have the proper tools to deal with eDiscovery in-house. My experience tells me that the organizations who can do that are few and far between. Yes, there are many places that have document management systems, and other IG tools in place, but are they being used consistently? Do you have talent on hand to not just install it and keep it running, but also make use of the analytical tools that help you get to the correct data in-house?

As I mentioned earlier, eventually, this is where we should be heading. It only makes sense for IG, data security, privacy and eDiscovery. But are we truly there yet with most enterprise organizations? I don’t know. Color me skeptical on that question.

How about you, are you a skeptic, or do you think we’re ready for eDiscovery in-place to be common?

Linked: Want People to Listen to You in Zoom Meetings? Follow These 3 Rules

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

Two things that I want to say about this:

1. Getting there early is an opportunity to have small talk, and maybe even a laugh or two, something the we are all lacking in the work from home world, and which science is now telling us is making us feel more alone, even as we sit on video conferences on and off all day long. When we go from call to call talking business only and getting off as quickly as possible, that is Zoom fatigue. If you have a few laughs together? Totally different.

2. Also, don’t sleep on being the one to send the follow up notes, and meeting wrap ups. Yeah it’s a pain, it means you have to take notes and pay attention. You know what else it means? When the next meeting starts, you are now the keeper of the notes, and probably running the meeting to kick it off. Now you don’t have to find a way to interject politely, you have the floor. Additionally,  if you are running the meeting, be aware of who is talking, and who isn’t. Who looks like they want to say something, and isn’t getting a chance. Don’t setup your screen to show you the large image of who is talking and small screens of everyone else. That only drags your attention away from the group, and the people not talking. Don’t leave them behind.
