Governance has never been, and will never be a fun topic...Lack of Drivers A driver needs to exist for content governance to become a focus for a team or individual
This isn’t just governance and the control of content...I feel that for focused solutions or small volume systems, Content Management isn’t required...How important is governance for Enterprise 2.0?
For that reason I believe it is important to consider eight ways that social media impacts information governance. 1. Any information governance policy that has content management under its scope needs to include social as part of its jurisdiction
Business social media and collaborative solutions are designed for contextualization of actions and content (structured and unstructured) around the projects with automation of some processes. It also represents from the point of view of information governance, and more generally of information management, a solution fully under control!
I am pleased to announce that AIIM has just introduced the AIIM Social Media Governance Practitioner course. This course covers the processes, roles and responsibilities, and instruments required to successfully bring social media into the organization's governance framework for compliance, legal and regulatory requirements, and best practices for information management. There are specific courses for Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn as well as a lot of broadly applicable content. It's a significant development for AIIM because while there are a number of social media courses, academies, certificate programs, etc. in the marketplace, very few of them address governance at all and none of them have AIIM's deep expertise in information management processes and requirements
In my last post I talked about some of the unique considerations social media brings to governance generally and policies in particular
The foundation of a good governance program is the policy
Most organizations go to great lengths to ensure only the right people have access to certain content, and that the content adheres to sometimes very strict industry and regulatory standards
I just returned from the #e2conf ( www.e2conf.com ) event in Boston, which focused on the rapid expansion of social collaboration platforms, and was not surprised by many of the concerns among the participants about impacts to existing platforms and architectures -- and what to do with the growing fragmentation of their content. Enterprise Content Management (ECM) as a category has been so much about the organization of content across the many data silos, but ECM has become yet another data silo, as identified by AIIM CEO John Mancini in his most recent CMSWire article Digital Chatter, Information Overload, and How to Get it Under Control
3 Comments - Our content strategy isn't as complicated at the moment but we still have issues with authorship
I want to expand a bit on my previous post and start with an overview of governance in the social media era
