I had the pleasure of stopping by the ARMA Tri-Chapter Conference-RIM On A Shoestring, to see if there might be something blog-worthy. Last year, I spoke on a panel. In fair turnabout, I was in the audience for the talk given by R. Scott Murchison of Kaizen InfoSource LLC. Scott has called on me to speak numerous times in the past, and after watching him present, I understand exactly why. We both are hands-on experienced professionals who like to share practical tips we have learned from doing work for clients. This is a direct contradiction to those on the other end of the spectrum, who call themselves, "thought leaders." If you were looking for high lofty thoughts (think SNL Deep Thoughts), that may not apply at all to your real world Data Rules and Electronic Discovery challenges, then this talk was not for you. If however, you appreciate real examples of issues and solutions, then you would have been paying attention and taking notes. I thought it was definitely worthy of a blog post.
