GOVERNANCE
Information Governance is the

definition of the roles, policies,
processes, and metrics required to
manage the information lifecycle,
including defensible disposition.

A consistent message that represents the needs of all stakeholders for the
organization to follow.
KEEP IT SIMPLE.
Start with small victories, build consensus and grow organically by
demonstrating success.
KEEP IT FRESH.
Suggest rotating IG members if organizational distractions effect
commitment levels.
BUILD A GROUNDSWELL OF SUPPORT.
