This workshop will help you deliver a better understanding of the value of an effective data and information lifecycle strategy, its key components and how to work with internal stakeholders to implement or improve information lifecycle management in your own organisation.

Information Governance (IG) Industry Research Survey 2023

InfoGovANZ invites you to participate in our 4th industry research survey, which tracks the development and trends in information governance over the last 7 years.

The purpose of this survey is to collect the knowledge and opinions of practitioners and industry participants in relation to their organisation’s development of IG. We want to know what you think about IG, what IG means to your organisation, what drives your IG projects and your thoughts about IG in 2023. This is a great opportunity for you to share what you think and the industry experiences you’ve had.

The IG Industry Report 2023 and the insights obtained from this research survey will be published in the April edition of The Governance of Things and will be the subject of a discussion forum for Information Awareness Month in May.

If you’d like to remind yourself of the results from our previous surveys, you can access them here - 2017 IG Report, 2019 IG Report and the 2021 IG Report.

There are 26 questions and an opportunity to provide further comments at the conclusion of the survey. We estimate it will take about 8 minutes to complete the survey. All data is collected on an anonymous basis, so any answers you give will not be directly connected to you or your organisation.

Launch the Survey

Information Lifecycle Management: what is it and how it reduces risk?

Most organisations are collecting and generating exponentially increasing volumes of data each year.  However, many organisations struggle to safely and efficiently dispose of data that is no longer needed for regulatory retention requirements or for legitimate purposes, as required, for example, under the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Californian Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). On top of the complexity of keeping track of data within the organisation, the perception that data is ‘the new oil’ and increasingly cheap storage costs are typical reasons why data is not actively managed and disposed of when no longer required. The Optus Data Breach and the increasing number of decisions by regulators in the US and EU underscore the risk and consequences of over-retention of data for organisations.  Most of these decisions on over-retention of data arise from inadequate cyber security and have resulted in monetary sanctions and, […]

ChatGPT Proves a Mediocre Law Student

[Note: InfoGovANZ thanks Craig Bell for permission to republish his article here, which was first published on Ball in Your Court] I recently spent a morning testing ChatGPT’s abilities by giving it exercises and quizzes designed for my law and computer science graduate students. Overall, I was impressed with its performance, but also noticed that it’s frequently wrong but never in doubt: a mechanical mansplainer! If you’re asking, “What is ChatGPT,” I’ll let it explain itself: “ChatGPT is a large language model developed by OpenAI. It is a type of machine learning model called a transformer, which is trained to generate text based on a given prompt. It is particularly well-suited to tasks such as natural language processing, text generation, and language translation. It is capable of understanding human language and generating human-like text, which makes it useful for a wide range of applications, such as chatbots, question-answering systems, and […]
