For example, a generic company
newsletter designed to be distributed
publicly could be determined
immediately not to have any
e-discovery or cybersecurity value
and have a short retention policy
applied to it.
Develop a Defensible Data
Disposal Policy. Some of the biggest
risks organizations face are that data
will be used against them in litigation
or that private, protected information
will be released to the general public.
Creating a defensible disposal policy
on data that have no long-term
value or that are not required to
be maintained can help law firms
immediately mitigate those risks.
Create a Post-Breach Document
Review Strategy. Document review
is not just for e-discovery and
litigation. A good data management
plan will also have a post-breach
document review strategy. This
review will determine the importance
of the documents breached and how
severe the breach was.
Obtain Third-Party Expertise.
Experts spend all day working on
data management plans, e-discovery
processes and cybersecurity
responses. Companies should
embrace these third-party experts
as helpers in creating a data
management culture.
Data management can no longer
be separate from other business
responsibilities. It must become an
integrated component of a law firm's
culture. Using these nine steps, you
can integrate information governance
frameworks with e-discovery while
ensuring data security, creating good data
management.

The Sketchnote Workbook:
Advanced Techniques for
Taking Visual Notes You Can
Use Anywhere
by Mike Rohde
"The Sketchnote Workbook" is an
interesting take on what seems
like a boring topic: how to take
notes. The author presents how
making pictures and font changes
throughout your note-taking
makes your notes more valuable.
The variations help you retain
knowledge and allow you to
quickly look back and reflect on
the meeting for which you were
taking notes. And given the entire
book is made up of sketch notes,
it's a fairly quick read.

Companies Make the Leap...
And Others Don't
by Jim Collins
This book dives into how good
companies become great

to Great" is not geared toward
technology, and many of the
companies listed as being "Built to
Last" are no longer in existence,
but there are some gems of
wisdom for anyone looking to take
their IT department from good to
great!

Crucial Conversations: Tools
for Talking When Stakes Are
High
by Kerry Patterson, Joseph
Grenny, Ron McMillan and Al
Switzer
I was listening to a gentleman
speak about leadership at a recent
conference, and he noted that he
asks anyone he hires to read this
book. As I got into reading it, I
understood why. Communication
is such an important factor
to having an effective team
and being productive. It is an
invaluable skill to know the right
questions to ask and why. No
matter your role, this book will be
a helpful resource.
