Current Professional Projects

[edit]

For US .mil or .gov users, I also have a user page (same name) on both the unclassified and SIPR Intellipedia pages with more information on current projects. I have a special interest in developing the Joint Staff and Combatant Command Records Management Program (RMP) in a collaborative environment because I am responsible for oversight of this worldwide, multiple time zone group. I'm focusing my efforts primarily in the unclassified intellipedia space where I'm also hosting an information management blog in addition to wiki-type pages. Because this limits international or non-governmental participation in the wider records management community of interest, I am establishing a presence in Wikipedia as well because I believe records managers worldwide are facing similar challenges as we attempt to manage copious amounts of electronic information/data which has been created (but not well managed) over the past couple of decades or so. If you would like to join this community of interest, please feel welcome. As more and more businesses and governments begin to deploy electronic records management applications (RMAs) and enterprise content management (ECM) systems, there will certainly be universal lessons learned from which we can all profit if we share them with one another.

I am also happy to share information on Freedom of Information Act and Automatic Declassification issues and expect I may move into the collaborative environments for these areas with time as well. Both of these fields are enabled by records management and are part of the information management field within which I work.

I am interested in exploring the seam between the IT and RM disciplines as I believe there are "quick wins" possible if these two communities begin to communicate better--and more often. Briefly, I am interested in the following program areas:
