Facilitator… more than
anything About
I hear so many members talk about their struggles
getting the right things done. Governance often
seem to be the answer or missing link.
How much or in what form you need it depends
on the organisation you come from

Your definition of (digital) success?
![Page 6: Governance in complex organisations](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051314/54c704414a7959a27c8b45a4/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
New Standards,
New normal
![Page 7: Governance in complex organisations](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051314/54c704414a7959a27c8b45a4/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Head aches
Too much content
The wrong content
The wrong technical platform
The technical platform is owned by the wrong
people (or disowned by the right people)
Don’t have the right team
Don’t have the right mandate over the team
Don’t have control over project portfolio
Spend too much time doing the wrong things
![Page 8: Governance in complex organisations](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051314/54c704414a7959a27c8b45a4/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
But...not everyone are equally frustrated
Some have a plan
Some have a management that understands
the importance of digital
Some just seem to get the job done
Some have a better understanding and
acceptance of management and executive
decision processes than others - So, how do you know that you need more
governance?
- And what is it that you need?

It starts with play
![Page 10: Governance in complex organisations](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051314/54c704414a7959a27c8b45a4/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Survival
![Page 11: Governance in complex organisations](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051314/54c704414a7959a27c8b45a4/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Support systems and people who break them
![Page 12: Governance in complex organisations](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051314/54c704414a7959a27c8b45a4/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Infrastructure problems
![Page 13: Governance in complex organisations](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051314/54c704414a7959a27c8b45a4/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Make sure that the
rules are a help, not just
something to
circumvent
![Page 14: Governance in complex organisations](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051314/54c704414a7959a27c8b45a4/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Your governance structure?
Line of command?
Support systems?
Measures to enforce?
What are the weak spots?
![Page 15: Governance in complex organisations](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051314/54c704414a7959a27c8b45a4/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Speed networking
1.Choose a challenge you are currently
dealing with
2.Ask for advice from 3 different people, one
by one (you get 4 minutes with each)
3.Then change from asking for advice to
giving advice
![Page 16: Governance in complex organisations](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051314/54c704414a7959a27c8b45a4/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Reflections?
Did you get different input from different
people?
What suprised you?
New input?
![Page 17: Governance in complex organisations](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051314/54c704414a7959a27c8b45a4/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Coffee break until 14:40

Getting the right decision through
Management and power structures
![Page 19: Governance in complex organisations](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051314/54c704414a7959a27c8b45a4/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
There is always governance somewhere
• Brand and identity strategy
• IT Governance
• Growth strategies
• Consolidation strategies
![Page 20: Governance in complex organisations](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051314/54c704414a7959a27c8b45a4/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
How are executive decisions made?
Logic?
Rarely long term
Gut feeling
![Page 21: Governance in complex organisations](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051314/54c704414a7959a27c8b45a4/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Authority
![Page 22: Governance in complex organisations](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051314/54c704414a7959a27c8b45a4/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Organization type

Who has authority in your organisation?
![Page 24: Governance in complex organisations](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051314/54c704414a7959a27c8b45a4/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
What is good leadership?
How is your role model doing it
![Page 25: Governance in complex organisations](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051314/54c704414a7959a27c8b45a4/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Leadership DNA
Hard work and lot’s of insight, constant double checking Trust, but follow up Always demand a little more, but not too much – push outside the comfort zone Commmunicate, communicate communicate Be visible and network Set the right team and work it
What are the best qualities in your leaders?

Culture eats strategy for breakfast
![Page 28: Governance in complex organisations](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051314/54c704414a7959a27c8b45a4/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Culture
“…that complex whole which includes
knowledge, belief, art, morals, law, custom, and
any other capabilities and habits acquired by
man as a member of society…”
EB Tylor 1871
![Page 29: Governance in complex organisations](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051314/54c704414a7959a27c8b45a4/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Factor in culture
Beware of trigger points that are different from
your own
Definition of leadership
Double check common understanding and
sense:
How is your manual read differently
What is an order?
A complaint?
Is there a conflict, or isn’t there?
Gender

Next steps to get going – tips from your peers
![Page 32: Governance in complex organisations](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051314/54c704414a7959a27c8b45a4/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Organisations in general coordinate too little and publish too much
There is too much content
Content is a liability
Not enough accountability, in the necessary positions
We can see how centralization could be an option but what if:
The decentral organization is a political head count game?
Centralization takes more time than we think
We have decentralised the web editing to make sure content is
maintained by the subject matter experts and always updated and
correct
We want a CMS that is more user friendly so the responsible people
will do a better job
We need to spend less time on first line support
We need to do more training
We have no control over our message and brand
We can’t do SEO because we don’t know our content
We want to be more proactive and spend more time on development
not maintenance
![Page 33: Governance in complex organisations](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051314/54c704414a7959a27c8b45a4/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Your elevator speech? The problem seems to be that
our editors spend too little time
working with digital media to
have any chance of staying
abreast with how to write for
Google, or handle imagery, text
etc. Furthermore they get no
recognition for their work and it
becomes impossible for me to
argue that they need to prioritize
online. When they actually DO
something on the website the
quality is usually sub standard
and they often reinvent the
wheel because they haven't read
the manual. I do a terrible
amount of first line support and
haven‘t got enough time to get
our other projects finshed on
time. blablablabla...
Make the problem easy to understand
![Page 34: Governance in complex organisations](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051314/54c704414a7959a27c8b45a4/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Make sure you have a plan and
stakeholder buy-in
Acknowledging that the central digital strategist
should do more than administrating the
common platform would change the power
strucure
Creating a digital strategy takes 3 months (give or take a year)
![Page 35: Governance in complex organisations](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051314/54c704414a7959a27c8b45a4/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Fill the void
Don’t loose momentum
Choose visible projects
Communicate successes and results
Communicate risks
Limit your message to stakeholders
Always look and ask for solutions
![Page 36: Governance in complex organisations](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051314/54c704414a7959a27c8b45a4/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Look at the real reasons?
Hidden headcounts?
Politics?
![Page 37: Governance in complex organisations](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051314/54c704414a7959a27c8b45a4/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Don’t show the tools?

Who will use it, Think carefully before you show a ”non-digital” your tool

Don’t talk about tools
![Page 39: Governance in complex organisations](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051314/54c704414a7959a27c8b45a4/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
What they needed to know to invest in SML
Save money on focus groups, reports and other
market analysis
Crisis management
Budget share between PR and Research dpt’s
CALL IT SOMETHING ELSE... ”ONLINE LISTENING”

What management needed to know about
your content problems
Massive amount of the editors are infrequent (response rate: around 300 /perhaps 1000 editors to online questionnaire):
- 45 % of the respondents work less than 4 ours /week with digital
content, homepage and intranet
- 41 % of the respondents work less than 1 hour/week on digital contents,
homepage and intranet
- 24 % are responsible for 1-5 pages in total, the rest more
Progress indicator: Decreased page count Fewer editors with more responsibility Freed central resources spend time on projects looking forward
![Page 41: Governance in complex organisations](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051314/54c704414a7959a27c8b45a4/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
When things change rapidly
Helena Hed, Digital Manager at Assa Abloy:
”We were just about to really roll out our new
strategy with CMS upgrades, editor training,
new identity and new team members, and then
everything froze because of a merger... What to
do?”
Focus on product marketing in it’s smallest building blocks
![Page 42: Governance in complex organisations](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051314/54c704414a7959a27c8b45a4/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Don’t be afraid to
know better, but don’t
overspend and don’t overcommunicate!
And if you can’t get the formal GO to do the
right thing, find another job or do it anyway
because What is there to
loose?
