I drive the goals of Information Governance by tying them directly to the company's business goals. The business goals inform the Information Governance goals. I do have company support in participating in cross-departmental committees, developing policies and procedures with information technology, and tactically addressing privacy and security and life cycle management as it plugs into meeting company objectives.

This philosophical approach will determine goals that information governance will support.
