Agenda
Understanding what we really mean by governance—and why there are so many definitions
Asking the right questions Making the answers consumable Sharing experiences!
4
A winning formula
= + +
5
Why do we care?
Why do we care?

It really should be pretty simple … and directly tied to business goals
Current State Desired Future State

Governance in Three Words
No Sharp Edges

But, don’t do it unless you can
Commit
10
1. Align with business goals – what are we trying to accomplish?
Because that will drive how strict you need to enforce your rules
11
2. Align with existing policies – especially information assurance and records management
Because you shouldn’t have to invent everything new and you may need to “design it in
12
3. Understand existing teams and roles – what is already in place?
Because people already have jobs and you may need to define new roles or relationships
13
4. Engage with HR - early
Because if job descriptions need to be changed, you’d better have some support

Put together the right team – small, inclusive, empowered

Just in time training and governance – the Site Pages wiki library
30
Small chunks of consumable content
Socialize, Promote, Verify
31

My Lessons Learned
It’s really about both assurance and guidance – and it takes COMMITMENT – plan, plan, plan
No one cares about governance – until you make it all about them!
Less is more – avoid unnecessary bureaucracy – and long documents
Small chunks of consumable content – just in time! Build best practices into your site templates and automate
everything you can A governance plan doesn’t replace training … and training should include governance
Your lesson learned
