Records Mgmt & Archiving

ARMA International is asking its professional practitioners and members to review the following draft Maturity Model for feedback. The draft Maturity Model was introduced during ARMA International's 2009 Annual Conference & Expo on Friday, October 16.

A Maturity Model is a tool for objectively assessing an organization's ability to carry out a specific set of tasks.

Maturity, as defined when applying GARP® principles, means that each principle:
• Implies certain rules of behavior
• Dictates certain controls
• Carries oversight requirements
• Carries recordkeeping requirements
• Carries audit implications
• Carries continuous improvement implications

Please download the DRAFT Maturity Model using this link:

The Impact Calculator is a freely-available downloadable tool, that provides a mechanism for measuring the actual impact of a change initiative. The Impact Calculator has been developed to measure the wider impact a change initiative has on an organisation, not just the impact of records management.
