Josephine Secis ARIM
Stream 2 | The Carnegie Stage
A candid conversation about moving information management beyond compliance and positioning it where it belongs, as a strategic organisational responsibility.
In this fireside chat, Anne Cornish, CEO of RIMPA Global, sits down with the Assistant Director-General Government Information of the National Archives of Australia – Josephine Secis to explore why information management must become an executive responsibility and what needs to change to get it firmly onto the leadership agenda.
From organisational risk and accountability to AI, trust and the rapidly increasing volume of information, the conversation will examine the challenges facing today’s practitioners and the role executives must play in creating environments where information is appropriately governed, valued and protected.
Josephine Secis joined the National Archives of Australia as Assistant Director-General, Government Information and Collection Management in January 2024.
Before joining National Archives, Josephine held a number of executive roles at Queensland State Archives where she was responsible for recordkeeping, collection management and digital preservation. She led the development of the State's first Digital Archive and increased recordkeeping capability across the Queensland public sector.
As part of the Executive team at National Archives, Josephine will build public trust in the public record through the development and implementation of innovative and digitally focused information and data management policies and standards. She will also focus on preserving Australian Government information of enduring significance and exploring ways of providing better services to users.
Josephine is a people focused leader and is passionate about working with her teams to unleash their full potential and explore new and better ways of delivering digitally focused archival and information management services.
