The AI revolution is upon us, and at the forefront stands Microsoft Copilot. Many are buzzing with excitement as Copilot steps onto the scene. It promises to transform document analysis, report generation and streamline processes. It’s also getting records managers excited: will it automate their records management?
Without a doubt, Copilot will supercharge productivity. Imagine a knowledge worker at a legal firm on a mission to undertake content-based evidence analysis. They get swamped with mountains of documents, videos and images. Copilot steps in and analyses these like a cyber detective.

Crossroads aims to uncover, document, exhibit, and preserve the migration history of East African diaspora communities in Australia.
The year 2024, will be the 40th Anniversary of two significant flights in 1984 from Cairo to Melbourne that carried the first Black African refugees to settle in Australia. This marked the beginning of a migration pathway that is still used today by Horn of Africans (Horners), growing the Eritrean, Ethiopian, Somali and Oromo diaspora communities in Victoria. This project seeks to unify the Horners communities and increase access to African history in Australia while providing a platform for artistic experimentation and cultural exchange.

Artificial Intelligence is profoundly changing the way all business is being conducted. The productivity improvements are stunning. Yet, already abject AI project failures abound. Why? Because organisations’ data, information and knowledge, their Information Assets, are not ready for AI.
This session draws on James’ book “Information Asset management – why you must manage your data, information and knowledge the way you manage your money”.
It explains why getting your Information Assets in order is critical for success and what to do about it.

Don’t let your hard work go flat when you can ‘job craft’ it.
Why not consider giving your next IM initiative a little ‘personal passion’ in the form of ‘job crafting’ to help it hit its target audience and get the action it deserves.
Hear how 2 agencies used job crafting to increase engagement with their initiatives to bring some ‘memorable’ organisational moments and had some fun doing so. One case study will demonstrate how storytelling was deployed and staff volunteers recruited to win an industry award for taking a creative journey.

The purpose of this paper is to highlight the significance of Information Management in increasing the efficiency of an organization.
Various studies in this stream have observed that measuring IM efficiency plays a significant role in improving organizational productivity and ultimately increasing revenue. Today, professionals round the globe spend 5–15 percent of their time reading information and up to 50 percent looking for it. One of the prime reason for the same is the unstructured information management.
This paper would highlight the various practices in information management and indicate the existing gaps in the stream.
Paper also proposes a way forward by suggesting implementation of Key Performance Indicators to measure the performance of people, process and systems specific to Information Management.

Digital preservation cannot be left for the archivists alone; it requires active involvement from all responsible parties within the record lifecycle. With a steady increase in born digital records across the Queensland Government, alongside an ever-changing digital landscape, more is now required from agencies to successfully maintain this material beyond the limits of technological failure or change. As Queensland State Archives (QSA) prepares to roll out its Digital Archive, we recognise that this challenge is not just reserved for permanent value records (which make up only a small percentage of public records), but also those records that need to be retained by agencies for the medium to long term. This raises the question: do we need to incorporate digital preservation into current records management processes to provide complete, reliable, and accessible information throughout government?
As QSA actively engage with the wider Queensland Government to elicit a better understanding of the ecosystem at play for born digital records, we are not only preparing agencies for how they can utilise the Digital Archive, but we are also identifying how we bring digital preservation directly to them for their own business needs.

With one cybersecurity related incident reported to Australian law enforcement every 6 minutes, the frequency and impact of cybersecurity breaches continues to grow. Despite the headline-grabbing megabreaches of the last few years, however, our experience demonstrates that organisations remain unprepared - both from a prevention as well as a response perspective.
In real world experience, what this means is that cyber breaches that could be avoided if for sensible cyber hygiene practices continue to harm organisations and people. What we also see is that when an incident does occur, organisations who have fallen victim are simply not ready to deal with the crisis that ensues. This results in organisations experiencing operational disruption, financial harm, reputational damage and ultimately leads to costly litigation that drags the adverse reputation harm out even further.
In this presentation, Tony Vizza will discuss some of the fundamental security issues that exist with organisations that have failed to identify risks, protect from those risks, detect cyber risks, respond to realised risks and recover from those risk eventualities. The presentation will highlight strategies related to cyber risk management from a data management and governance perspective and will illustrate the operational costs that exist for organisations who are not ready for the inevitable cyber incident. Finally, Tony will discuss strategies that organisations can employ that will assist them minimise their cyber risk, maximise the effectiveness of their incident response approaches and achieve better operational efficiency and business risk management as a result

The International Standards Organisation Subcommittee 11 (SC 11) leads international best practice records management by providing frameworks, models, standards, and guidance for designing and implementing records practices and process.
Established in 1998, SC 11 is the home of records management experts from 52 countries, who work together to drive practice improvement in public and private organisations by creating benchmarks that influence the continuous improvement of the industry as a whole. From its beginnings with 4 working groups, the work of SC 11 now stretches across 11 working groups that cover a vast range of topics from records disposition through to the intersection of artificial intelligence and records management.
Australia is a well-established ‘strong voice’ in international records management best practice. In fact, the SC 11 foundational standard - ISO 15489 - originated from the work of Australia's records management experts. Since then, Standards Australia's Records and Document Managment Committee (IT-021) has become known world-wide for the quality of both its work and the members that it endorses to represent Australia in the international space.
This presentation will discuss the work of SC 11 and its forward plan for continued leadership in an industry that is experiencing an unprecedented rate of change in how information is created, kept, and used in day-to-day environments.

André Eikmeier is a founder who is trying to do something good for the world.
He co-founded online wine start-up Vinomofo with his brother-in-law Justin in 2011 and built it into a $100m global company.
Life before that is a twenty-year study in the art of failing - from dropping out of university, a failed family business, an acting career in four out of five of Australia's worst TV shows, a singing career that never
transcended being the lead singer in a One Hit Wonders covers band, a theatre company that imploded on its first production, an events company that peaked at the launch of an adult sex toy brand, a film
company that nearly saw him plummet to his death from a joy ride helicopter, and a year-long kombi wine adventure around Australia...
In 2018, following an existential crisis driven by a profound sense of concern for the world and an awakening of privilege and responsibility, André founded Good Empire, a gamified impact platform to
gather, unite and empower an empire of good humans to help save the world.

For the past 25 years Paul Fechner MRIM has worked in Records, Information and Knowledge Management roles expanding across the Private Sector and both State and Local Government.
Through his experience he’s been a firm believer that effective and efficient RIM is a combination of many things and has learnt from both mistakes and successes. He’s conducted hundreds of training sessions along with being a workshop facilitator and is a regular presenter at various conferences…..and enjoys having a bit of fun along the way along with getting inside your head to realise that information is an extremely valuable asset. A thought provoker and culture changer who uses his vast experiences to assist organisations help themselves from within and with the tools they very often have. He’s also been a systems administrator for EDRMS’s and SharePoint and loves what Office 365 can do……but is also wary of ‘the human factor’. Paul enjoys creating a business ecosystem that brings together culture, logistics and the tools available within an Information Governance Framework of plans, policies and guidelines, trainings and clear communications.
