ABSTRACT

An information governance (IG) framework must be formally established to provide the guardrails to guide decisions, in order to direct and manage an IG program properly. This chapter discusses the key components of an IG Framework that serve as the construct, the foundation for any successful IG program. The role of an IG project or program manager is more detailed and day-to-day, tracking specific tasks that must be executed to make progress toward milestones. The role of the executive sponsor necessarily evolves and changes over the life of the initial IG program launch, during the implementation phases, and on through the continued IG program. The multi-modal IG program communications strategy should be reinforced through consistent and regular training on IG program aspects. The chapter presents a brief overview of the key IG-enabling information technologies that help implement and monitor new information-related processes.
