Hanging with Hal
Hal Blackman, President and CEO of IST Management, provides his insight and experiences as an industry leader.
Years ago, IST made the call to move our processes digital. Most of our environmental footprint came from paperwork, so that’s where we started. This wasn’t a trendy decision. It was how we kept delivering high-level business without wasting precious resources.
We all know how important it is to speak up about mental health… and yet, when it comes down to actually doing it, it's one of the hardest things in the world. Most of us have been through something. Stress. A tough loss. Conflict. Stretches of real anxiety or depression.
In this month's Hanging with Hal, he reflects on what's kept IST's mission, culture, and leadership intact through 29 years of industry change, and why that consistency is exactly what a real partnership is built on.

The Multi-Vendor Workplace Services Problem: Why Consolidation Wins on Cost, Accountability, and Performance
Outsourcing workplace services functions rarely lives or dies on intuition. It lives or dies on the numbers a CFO can defend in a budget meeting. “Our team seems overwhelmed” isn’t a business case. A structured, defensible ROI model is.
Innovate & Integrate: Bridging People, Technology, and Service
Exploring technology, leadership, and management development, with employee engagements and culture.
There was a time when you knew the person who fixed your technology. You had their cell number. They knew your setup, your quirks, the one server that always acted up in the summer, and the partner who needed things explained a certain way.
This month's Innovate & Integrate makes the case that workplace experience isn't an amenity, it's an operating system, and shows what happened when one organization finally measured it: 70% lower overtime, 15 fewer conference rooms, and 100 more meetings a week without adding an inch of space.
Most organizations don’t think about records management until something goes wrong — a lawsuit, an audit, a breach. By then, the damage is already done. Here’s what poor information governance actually costs.

IST Gives Back
IST’s Community Outreach updates, articles and country-wide projects.
This season is a time to slow down, reflect, and be grateful. With plenty of work deadlines, news notifications, and shopping to-do lists, it remains crucial to slow down and spend time with friends, colleagues, or loved ones. What better way than giving back to those in need with some holiday cheer?
