President John O'Brien ... hang on, that's me!  Now I am working in the area of Knowledge Resource Development and Intellectual Capital  based in Hong Kong.  I think RIM is the foundation of the whole shebang! Many people define RIM as "records & information management", and some prefer "records management". There are subtle, but important differences, in these terms. What's your view?! Do you think record keeping gets in the way of doing "the real job"? Is record keeping the main way we can look back to judge a decision trail? Is there a relationship between records and improving quality? What about accountability? Records - is that "paper"? Software is great for changing and revising documents and files...wait a minute...is that good for "records"? Let's talk! Financial crisis hits the world! As members of the Basel II Compliance Professionals Association, it is gratifying to learn that the government of CHina has moved its compliance schedule ahead a full year. The current financial crisis is forcing direct attention onto regulatory and transparency frameworks. The China Banking Regulatory Commission has already issued regulations under Basel II that include IBR (Internal Rating Based Approaches), technical standards and regulatory requirements to encourage competitive, defensible banking. The underpinning? Records management. Of course. Mon, 09 Feb 2009 08:58:58 -0600
