From Policy to Practice: Making Your Retention Schedule Actionable

Date: December 3, 2025 | Time: 1:00 PM (Central Time)

Retention schedules fail when they don’t reflect how the business actually creates, uses, and stores data.

The result? Real operational impact: conflicting rules across systems, misaligned entries that create compliance gaps, and hours wasted trying to interpret what should be clear.

In this session, filerskeepers and Knowledge Preservation will unpack the real-world challenges companies face while implementing their retention schedules — exploring why a well-maintained, dynamic retention schedule is essential to effective information governance, and how to turn it into a living tool that delivers real value.

You will walk away with practical guidance to:

  • Turn your retention schedule into an operational tool that supports decisions, saves time, and strengthens compliance
  • Detect necessary and unnecessary information within your schedule
  • Eliminate “dead data” categories that inflate risk
  • Simplify and align schedule entries across systems and jurisdictions
