Guessing is not a strategy: How to build decision velocity with AI and real-time data
June 10, 2026 | Live Webinar
We’re talking government this month. And I’m reminding you public sectorians to look again at management of e-mail, whether it is in your projects or in your agency in general. Sure you may have policies that cover behavior in messages, such as “Do not make dates with your mistress using agency assets.”
This reminder, however, is regarding how you deal with the problem of managing the documents produced in e-mails. Yes, they are documents, but they are less formally created than spreadsheets or Word documents. Still, they may contain useful information that should be captured and archived for future reference, so you have to take special and perhaps difficult measures. Even more entertaining, this article hits you with the classic subpoena crisis: “They want all e-mails between our agency employees and the contractor!” How long will it take to gather that set?
Get serious in your project or agency by defining:
-
Retention
-
Assessing value of content
- Documenting per regulatory requirements
-
Archiving
-
Straining out multiple copies
The article does a good job of helping you get organized, so procrastinate no more!
