In an era where over-retention of paper, files, emails, and digital data has escalated from a mere nuisance to a significant risk, cost, and drag on the business, many companies find themselves stuck. The challenge isn’t just about compliance or eDiscovery anymore: it’s about freeing up productivity, enabling effective AI use, and changing employees’ “save everything forever” habits.
If you’ve struggled with stalled or backfired deletion attempts, this session is for you. Join us as we dive into practical, real-world strategies to confidently and defensibly delete data that’s no longer needed. We cover how to identify what should (and shouldn’t) be deleted, set reasonable deletion targets, and build organizational consensus around deletion policies.
We also walk through key policies and processes that make deletion achievable, explore how to leverage technology for automated deletion and reduce employee resistance to deletion, and discuss how to ensure your approach is defensible in the face of legal and regulatory scrutiny. Plus, we highlight common pitfalls to avoid.
Get ready to turn your deletion challenges into successes.
