Online Short Course | Roles and Responsibilities

Clear roles. Strong accountability. Effective Information Governance. One of the biggest challenges in Information Governance is the lack of clarity around who is responsible for what. When roles are poorly defined, organisations face increased risk, duplicated effort, compliance gaps, and confusion across teams.

Successful Information Governance depends on more than policies, systems, and compliance requirements it depends on people clearly understanding their roles and responsibilities.

Information Governance responsibilities are often shared across multiple teams, including Records and Information Management professionals, business units, IT, legal, compliance, privacy, and executive leadership. Without clearly defined accountability and collaboration, governance efforts can quickly become fragmented, inconsistent, and ineffective.

This eLearn provides Information Management professionals with the practical knowledge and strategic understanding needed to define, assign, and support Information Governance responsibilities across the organisation.

You will explore:

  • The core roles within Records and Information Management
  • How responsibilities differ across governance, compliance, business, and technology functions
  • The importance of role boundaries and cross-functional collaboration
  • Approaches for assigning, documenting, and evaluating responsibilities
  • The role of leadership in driving accountability and governance success

Designed for professionals involved in governance programs, policy implementation, compliance, and information management leadership, this course helps organisations create stronger accountability structures and more effective governance practices.
