From Retention Schedule to Information Map: Transforming Complexity into Clarity

Thank you to everyone who attended NAGARA Session 34: From Retention Schedule to Information Map: Transforming Complexity into Clarity. We were delighted to share insights and engage with information governance professionals from across the industry.

The session explored how organizations can move beyond traditional retention schedules and develop information maps that provide a clearer understanding of information assets, business processes, systems, and compliance requirements.
