Training with Jeffrey about Digital Trust

| | Leave a Comment

Speaking_right2As many know, I have adapted the content of my book and sold-out course at Oxford into an intensive corporate training workshop on engineering digital trust.  Sometimes, however, there are other ways to learn with me directly.  Here are two examples:

The first sponsor for my corporate workshop recognized that, for internal processes, digital trust is just as important!  The concept was to introduce the engineering tools and strategies I have developed to enable the company to look at how to improve the trust value of their internal information itself.  How important was this opportunity? I was stunned to learn that the sponsor flew executives in from Asia and Europe to spend two days learning with me!

I am pleased to be joining an amazing panel at the Suits and Spooks conference in Washington.  I have been invited to join the opening panel titled, “Restoring Trust One Handshake at a Time (Post-Snowden)”.    Of course, you can imagine one of my talking points is that trust was never in place in the design of the Net!

This event, and its related programs in Europe and around the US is quickly become a new generation of “the place to be”.  For more information and to register, visit the event website here. … Read More

Beginning  March 29, 2012, I will be joining 1SecureAudit in a new four part briefing series designed for in-house counsel on automating the management of legal risk.  This series focuses on four risk areas where technology and best practices in managing risk can be innovatively applied to reduce the likelihood of adverse events.  The remaining briefings are scheduled once per month during the next quarter.  Together, these briefings will introduce a model for building a legal risk management program that works in the 21st century.e-discovery, legal risk, outside counsel

The first briefing is Managing the Legal Risks of Outside Counsel. Many corporate lawyers presume that their law firms know how to manage and protect digital information, including the sensitive records that may serve as … Read More

On Thursday, October 13, 2011, I will be speaking at the Mid-Atlantic CIO Forum on the topic "Governing the Cloud: Sustaining Trust and Improving the Velocity of Business.”  This represents my first public presentation on how to connect using the tools of good information governance to the economic demands to show that doing so improves profitability, shareholder value, and competitiveness.

I am looking forward to unfolding these ideas with such a terrific by-invitation-only audience and the possibility for a dynamic exchange with the audience. What few people realize is that information governance has no value, unless it creates economic wealth.  The principles I will be sharing are proven to be working for those companies that have engaged me to coach … Read More

Avoiding Legal Storms in the Cloud—Contracting for Security

| | Leave a Comment

On April 12, 2011, I will be presenting a private webcast to the subscribers for the Ethics & Compliance Alliance, a superb knowledge resource for ethics and compliance executives, on Avoiding Legal Storms in the Cloud—Contracting for Security.  This program will introduce a structured approach for addressing security issues effectively and with enforceable contractually-based controls. This webinar also launches a monthly blog I will be doing for ECA’s subscribers examining contracting for security in depth and presenting model clauses for navigating technically complex topics.

I offer coaching and training on these same topics to executives and their teams. So often, Legal, IT, Security, Compliance and Audit struggle to find a shared vocabulary to discuss how to accomplish what … Read More

Encore: Governing Information: The New Job Description for Records Professionals

Word has quickly spread about the gauntlet I threw down in Baltimore on March 8th when I spoke to the ARMA International chapter meeting.  This event was the first chance to present my manifesto to records professionals on how to transfer their careers.  Now, other ARMA chapters in the region are calling and asking me to preach the manifesto to their members as well.  Cool.

My next presentation will be on May 12, in Silver Spring, Maryland at 6:00 pm.  Details on the location have not yet been released but I will post them here when they are made available.  In the meantime, if you are in the DC area, do plan to join us on May 12.  … Read More

The First Thing We Do is Kill Bullet Points

| | Leave a Comment

Yesterday, I attended a national conference at which the keynote speaker was the deputy general counsel for a global technology company. The purpose of his remarks was to emphasize the success and progress achieved within his company at integrating the legal and IT functions to support the business needs of the company.

I was intrigued – here was a speech worth listening to. And then, the most amazing thing – despite being inside one of the world’s most recognized technology companies, known for innovation in imaging, the Web, and all things digital, the speaker’s presentation consisted of 10 slides filled entirely with bullet points! That’s right, not a single visual element was presented that showed the structural integrations, about which … Read More
