Business Results!

Sony Hack: Made worse by poor governance!
Most of the documents contained duplicative information.
One employee’s Social Security number was in 93 different non-password protected documents.
“The No. 1 reason this happens is because companies have so much historical data and they don’t even know where it is.”

It really should be pretty simple … and directly tied to business goals
Current State Desired Future State – “manicured” and
compliant!

Governance in Three Words
No Sharp Edges
![Page 9: Establishing practical governance_intranets2015](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062515/55c45792bb61eb27678b46cd/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Start with 4 key principles
1. Align with
business goals
Because that will
drive how strict you need to enforce
your rules
![Page 10: Establishing practical governance_intranets2015](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062515/55c45792bb61eb27678b46cd/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Start with 4 key principles
1. Align with
business goals
2. Align with
existing policies
Because you shouldn’t have to invent
everything new and you may need to “design them
in”
![Page 11: Establishing practical governance_intranets2015](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062515/55c45792bb61eb27678b46cd/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Start with 4 key principles
1. Align with
business goals
2. Align with
existing policies
3. Understand
existing teams and
roles
Because people already have jobs and you may need
to define new roles or
relationships
![Page 12: Establishing practical governance_intranets2015](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062515/55c45792bb61eb27678b46cd/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Start with 4 key principles
1. Align with
business goals
2. Align with
existing policies
4. Engage
with HR.
3. Understand
existing teams and
roles
Because if job descriptions need to be
changed, you’d better have
some support

Have the right conversations
![Page 16: Establishing practical governance_intranets2015](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062515/55c45792bb61eb27678b46cd/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Governance Question Decision
Suggestion: Add a third column for traceability and store the whole thing in a SharePoint list
What types of overall corporate policies for information management, business, or technology management apply to the solution? Are there existing legal, IT and information management policies that SharePoint solutions must follow?• Use of IT Resources• Electronic Communications• Social Media Policy• Protection of Personally Identifiable Information• Records Management
How are these policies enforced in other systems? (Look for opportunities to leverage existing processes and have the conversation about how governance within SharePoint can be aligned with governance in other systems.)
Is there an expectation around how often content or entire sites need to be reviewed to ensure that information is kept up-to-date and is reliable?• For example, is it required that all sites be “re-
certified” on an annual basis?• For example, is it required that individual documents
be reviewed on an annual or more frequent basis?• Do the same review requirements apply to all types
of sites?

exclusively

Small chunks of content
![Page 32: Establishing practical governance_intranets2015](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062515/55c45792bb61eb27678b46cd/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Short, consumable guiding principles
![Page 33: Establishing practical governance_intranets2015](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062515/55c45792bb61eb27678b46cd/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

Socialize, Promote, Verify
Socialize Find Champions
Be responsive to feedback
Trust, but verify
Communicate persistently
![Page 35: Establishing practical governance_intranets2015](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062515/55c45792bb61eb27678b46cd/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
… and incorporate into training
![Page 36: Establishing practical governance_intranets2015](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062515/55c45792bb61eb27678b46cd/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
It’s really about both assurance and guidance – and it takes COMMITMENT
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
