Excellent post from James Lappin about the clashes and tensions between a stable records mgmt environment and the rapid pace of change in technology (...)

There is no choice; the dominance of technology has always determined the way how people handle their information day-to-day, and RIM was always running behind.
Is it possible to reconcile the need for stability and reliability of record keeping through time with the needs for agility?
"Stability and agility are like ying and yang- they look like the complete opposite of each other, but in reality they are dependent on each other, and each needs a bit of the other."
So, RIM will become the art of finding viable solutions to domesticate information, being compliant with retention requirements and at the same time arranging with the untamable dynamics of IT and application landscapes.
Squared circle? ... or muddling through?
Chris Walker maybe is overdooming the fall of RIM when he says in his anti-predictions:
"RIM will be sold off in pieces, like black market organs."

Where will the bucket stop then? Can IT be blamed for gaps in the records?
