From my last blog entry, we have a starting point for working on the governance program (through conducting an assessment or audit and defining or confirming the strategy.) Now it is time to actually do something! This blog is partially titled “establishing (or maturing)” because the structure and approach can be applied whether you are […]

So far in my blog series we have defined what Governance is and reviewed some things to think about to sell the need for the program in your enterprise. So, now we’ve gotten a green light, so where to begin? To me, Governance is not unlike Enterprise Architecture in that, even without a formal program, […]

So here we are. From my last entry you know we just crafted the perfect set of benefit statements for why the enterprise should put an Information Governance Program in place. But alas, you find yourself still getting pushback and objections. Can’t people see how good this is? Well, frankly, yes and no. This is […]

So, if you’ve been following along on this “Governance journey” you know we’ve discussed what it is (strategic business capability) and some helpful items (frameworks, tools, certifications) for carrying out its mission. But, as you likely know, sometime establishing a program is a tough sell. It is often viewed as “overhead” or just more red […]

So, here we are (again.) If you’ve been following along, you know we’ve spent some time defining our terms with regard to Governance and establishing it as a Business Capability. We’ve also taken a look at some available support for a Governance Program in the form of Frameworks and actual vendor products specifically aimed at […]

Welcome (back) to my blog as we continue to expound upon Governance and what it means within a business enterprise. To date we’ve defined what Governance is and talked a bit about how the industry supports it through the availability of Frameworks and Guidance for establishing and running a program. Now I’d like to turn […]

Welcome to my blog and my next entry in my series dealing with Governance within business enterprises. To date I’ve provided my thoughts as to the meaning of core concepts (Governance, Management, Data, Information, Strategy and Tactic) and used these concepts to define what I believe a Governance Program represents (or should represent) within an […]

Thanks for joining me as I continue to explore Governance and what it means to an enterprise. Up to now we’ve just laid the groundwork by focusing on terminology and concepts that I believe form the basis for understanding what a Governance Program really is (or should be) to an organization. We’ve clarified the difference […]

Hi and thanks for stopping by. If you’ve followed along with my previous posts on Governance you know we’ve spent some time getting our terms straight. We’ve distinguished Governance from Management and Data from Information (and Knowledge, and Wisdom). For me, one last piece of the “term puzzle” that is helpful to (finally?) begin to […]

Hello and welcome to my blog! If you are a returning reader you know that last time I discussed the difference between Governance and Management and offered my take on what each represents and why Governance needs to be put in place, preferably first, to ensure effective Management. I also “left out” any mention of […]

Since you clicked here, I am assuming you have at least a passing interest in the practice of Governance as undertaken by business organizations. Obviously, since I am posting this, I also am interested in Governance, but, through my experience with a variety of organizations, it seems to me that Governance means different things to […]
