Implementing this strategy will place significant demands on public servants to work in new ways and to acquire knowledge about the new technology. They will need to understand how the evolving technology creates new possibilities for the way they can do business, and they will need increased skills in the application and use of information. The past twelve months have seen many developments in this programme all of which require effective records management processes. The conference explored these recent developments, looking at the implications for records managers across government. The PRO's annual conference provides an important opportunity for colleagues from central government departments and agencies to discuss developments in records management, the impact of new policies and legislation, and the changing role of the Public Record Office itself.
Delegates build a valuable network of support for their work during the year.
