  How to Write Policies That Encourage Compliance - Community Roundtable

  Jul 28, 202658 min

  Many organizational policies are written as a series of imperatives: do this, don't do that, always, never. While well-intentioned, this approach often leaves capable professionals feeling like children who have to be controlled rather than trusted. The result? Policies that are read reluctantly, followed inconsistently, and viewed as obstacles rather than guidelines. This installment of our IG Community Roundtable explores the connection between policy tone and staff behavior, and explains how respectful, positively framed policies can encourage questions without fear of reprimand. * See our page on LinkedIn! * https://www.linkedin.com/company/infogovroundtable Your hosts: • Steve Weissman - steve@hollygroup.com • Jesse Wilkins - jesse.wilkins@opensitysolutions.com • Donda Young - dlyoung@heliasconsulting.com Book mentioned in this video: by Lewis Eisen How to Write Rules That People Want to Follow, 3rd Edition: A guide to writing respectful policies and directives https://www.amazon.com/Write-Rules-That-People-Follow-dp-1988749069/dp/1988749069/ref=dp_ob_title_bk © Steve Weissman • All Rights Reserved • www. hollygroup.com • 617-383-4655

  The Three Sides of the Information Inventory Coin - Community Roundtable

  May 18, 202654 minS3

  Citation vs. Provenance, and Their Criticality to AI Success (with John Martin)

  May 13, 202635 minS3

  <p>If you’re exploring, piloting, or implementing AI, take note of this critical distinction when it comes to ingesting and leveraging information:<br/><br/>•  Citation: the information exists, and I can tell you where to find it<br/>•  Provenance: the information exists, and I can tell you where to find it, where it originated, and when it arrived<br/><br/>Understanding the difference is foundational to getting practical value from AI, most instances of which cite their data sources but say nothing about whether those sources, or that data, is at all reliable.<br/><br/>Join me and John Martin...

  May 7, 202630 minS3

  <p>Creating policy documents takes an awful lot of effort. But are we making it harder on ourselves than we need to? Lewis Eisen of Perfect Policies says “yes,” and you need to hear why.</p><p>Spoiler: it’s because the people who should be focused on approving the policies spend too much time wordsmithing the user version – a job better left to those on the operational front lines.</p><p>Have a watch and you’ll agree that it’s 30 minutes of pure gold.</p><p>And if that’s not enough, there’s a free e-book in it for you as we...
