Synopsis

Information governance (IG)—the ability to secure, control and optimize information—is becoming more important and increasingly seen as a critical initiative in well–run organizations. IG is about minimizing information risks and costs while maximizing its value. But IG has often been presented as a complicated and blurry concept, and IG programs have often fallen short of their aims. Written by the leading author and trainer in IG, Robert Smallwood, this book will provide you with a crystal-clear definition of IG and its concepts, give you a high-level understanding of the drivers and benefits of IG, help you develop the business case, and show you how to launch and manage an ongoing IG program.
