Based on Unit Standard 242866: Identify, operate and maintain the records management system in the public sector. This course was approved by the North West University Institutional Academic Standards on 26 April 2006. The course is at NQF level 3. Learners will earn 6 credits on successful assessment.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
Records managers who are new in the position, filing/registry staff, administrative staff, secretaries, office professionals, managers who need to control their records and anyone who wants to learn about records management.
PRESENTER: MS AMANDA VAN DER MERWE
Ms van der Merwe has an LLB (cum laude) from the former Potchefstroom University for CHE and post-diploma certificate in Archival Studies from UNISA. She led the North West University through a new records management programme, which she initiated during the merger process. The invaluable lessons learnt and experiences gained will help guide and support other record managers, institutions and general managers embarking on an RM journey. General managerial principles were the cornerstone of the implementation process of the NW University RM programme. It became apparent that these principles had to be incorporated into an RM programme in order to effectively sell the programme to managers over a wide spectrum -from academic staff, to supporting managers and to secretaries doing general administrative work.
AIM
To equip learners with the necessary knowledge and practical skills to implement a records management programme in their organisation.
WORKSHOP CONTENTS
- Conceptual records management foundations
- Purpose of a records management (RM) system
- RM legislative and procedural requirements
- Operation of a records storage and retrieval system
- Identification of records
- Records classification systems
- Appraisal and disposal of records
- Introduction to electronic records
OUTCOMES
At the end of the workshop, the learner will be equipped to establish a RM system within the South African legislative framework.
ASSESSMENT
Assessment entails a six-month distance programme, during which eight related assignments must be completed. Learners will earn 6 credits if they complete the 8 assessment assignments successfully and receive a North West University short course certificate.

TRAINING WORKSHOPS
(Delegates must choose ONE workshop)
WORKSHOP 1: KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT IN SUPPORT OF COMPETITIVE INTELLIGENCE
PRESENTER: DR DEONIE BOTHA
AIM
To introduce the concept of Competitive Intelligence (CI). It is often required from Knowledge managers to assist and support the CI manager/team. However, not all individuals responsible for Knowledge Management (KM) have the necessary understanding of CI and thus experience difficulty in supporting the CI function. This workshop aims to provide knowledge managers with an understanding of and skills to support the CI team. The workshop also provides an introduction to individuals who would like to broaden their understanding of CI as an alternative career choice.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
Individuals who are part of a KM and/or CI team. All those who would like to develop an understanding of CI.
SUMMARY OF WORKSHOP
The workshop explains the interrelationship that exists between KM and CI. A detailed and extensive discussion of CI from both a theoretical as well as a practical perspective will be provided. The manner in which KM should assist and support the CI function in an organisation will be indicated. The workshop will also equip individuals with the necessary understanding of CI to prepare them for a career in CI. Practical guidelines (based on the experience of the presenter) on implementing a CI capability will be provided. Learners should have an intermediate to advanced knowledge of KM (as opposed to only Information management), but no knowledge of CI is required.
WORKSHOP CONTENTS
1. Introduction to CI
- The concept of CI
- Related concepts to CI
- KM and CI
- Skills sets of KM versus CI
2. The CI cycle: Explaining and defining the stages in the CI cycle

Dr Botha has travelled extensively and has written many local and international papers on various aspects of KM. She has also facilitated workshops on KM at several conferences. Although she has an extensive academic background in KM and is a firm believer in the value of academic qualifications, she believes that success in KM can only be obtained by creating a sustainable KM capability that can deliver of the objectives of the organisation.
