Michalsons Live for Information Officers | Cape Town | In-person

It is time to connect in person, come alive and share experiences. You’re the designated information officer. And you’ve been feeling your way through a largely new area of responsibility in your organisation. You have had to operationalise both data protection and access to information in your organisation. You’ve had to get your board on board, develop a strategy and framework, get a budget, raise your awareness and the awareness of others, choose software, plan and implement projects, and face audits and questions.

What have you learned on your way, that could help others? And what have you missed? What clever lessons could you gain from being in a room with people who face similar challenges to you? What are the practical tips to get this done?

This is a growing field; connecting with colleagues deepens your insight, strengthens your credibility, and smooths your path. This event is all about you in your role as an information officer – not about your organisation complying. This event will help you to be successful in your role.

You can read more about the outline of the course under “What is covered in the event?“.

Outcomes of Michalsons Live

• Tackle the problems you’re facing by getting practical solutions from others who have already solved them.
• Grow connections by sharing what you’ve learnt.
• Save time and money by learning from other information officers’ wins and mistakes.
• Deepen your understanding of your role by engaging with other people in similar roles and industries.
• Find out what you don’t know you don’t know by hearing other people’s experiences.

Who should attend Michalsons Live and why?

This is particularly suited to Information Officers who are responsible for implementing data protection because you will be exposed to other people with similar challenges relating to planning, implementing, and sustaining data protection.

It is also suitable for larger organisations that have multiple Information Officers, as we help align your thinking and set you on a common path.

If you are the default Information Officer and you are the person who is accountable for data protection but someone else is responsible for the implementation of data protection then we have other ways to support you. Consider our “The CEO is the Default Information Officer | Strategy Session”.

Who are the presenters?

We have a pool of experienced and practical presenters who have seen it all when it comes to implementing data protection in a variety of organisations. Our team includes John Giles, Lisa Emma-Iwuoha, and David Luyt.

Attendees

This event is open to the public – anyone with a ticket may attend.
