Sarbanes-Oxley--What's Next?
Michael Oxley
When Congress passed the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) in 2002, it
literally changed the way the world does business. Intended to deter
reruns of Enron, Tyco, WorldCom, and the like, SOX focused a bright
spotlight on how companies manage their audit records, which, in turn,
has had a monumental impact on the records and information management
(RIM) profession and industry.
In his keynote address, former Ohio Congressman Michael Oxley, who
coauthored the groundbreaking legislation, will address how RIM is key
to good governance. Oxley, who is now NASDAQ's non-executive vice
chairman, also will examine the intended and realized effects of SOX and
what to expect in the near future, including the ramifications of
proposals for "common sense changes" to SOX that are expected
this summer.

Whoever Tells the Best Story Wins
Annette Simmons
The best ideas in the world can't change anything without good
implementation. People have a "story" about why they do things
the way they've always done them. It feels right to them. Make your
idea--whatever that might be--sound even better by telling a different,
more compelling story that embodies new actions with future emotional
payoffs. Annette Simmons, president of Group Process Consulting and
author of Whoever Tells the Best Story Wins and several other books,
will help you learn to identify current stories that pull you to the
past--and keep you doing things the same old way, replace discrediting
stories about new changes, and frame new goals and methods within a
compelling future story.
