Information Governance: A Management Primer

by Robert F. Smallwood

Information Governance (IG) is a newer and often misunderstood term that encompasses concepts from a variety of disciplines. This Management Primer helps to clarify and demystify IG, in understandable language. Basic definitions from noted sources are proffered, and key steps and insights for implementing an IG program are covered. More and more organizations are looking at systematic ways in which they can manage their information. One way that can make a real difference is by adopting an Information Governance Framework (IGF). An Information Governance Framework brings together all the requirements, standards and best practice that apply to the management of information. This report also touches on the governance features of SharePoint 2007 and 2010, and provides a listing of key regulations related to records management. This is a critical primer for all corporate and public sector managers today!
