ILTA Master Class- Team IG: The Art of influence: Diplomacy and Organizational Politics in IG

When:  Mar 20, 2025 from 11:00 to 12:00 (ET)

Building and sustaining a successful Information Governance (IG) program requires more than just policies, technology, and compliance - it demands strategic diplomacy and a keen understanding of internal organizational politics. Without buy-in from key stakeholders, even the most well-designed IG initiatives can struggle to gain traction.

In this webinar, Leigh Zidwick, Senior Director of Information Governance at DLA Piper LLP, Doug Smith, Assistant Director of Records, Crowell & Moring LLP and Brianne Aul, Senior Manager of Information Governance Strategy and Operations at Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP, will explore how IG professionals can enhance their influence, foster collaboration, and navigate complex organizational dynamics to drive sustainable success.

Topics will include:

  • The role of diplomacy in IG and how to build strategic alliances
  • Understanding internal politics and leveraging it to advance IG objectives
  • Effective communication techniques for gaining executive and cross-departmental support
  • Managing resistance and overcoming roadblocks with tact and persuasion
  • Real-world strategies for sustaining long-term engagement in IG initiatives

So, join us for an engaging discussion on the soft skills that make a big impact in IG leadership. Whether you’re launching a new program or strengthening an existing one, mastering these skills will help you position IG as a business enabler rather than just a compliance requirement.
