One of the concepts we introduce in MIKE2.0 is that of Networked Information Governance – essentially Information Governance combined with Enterprise 2.0. What we found when it comes to governance is the importance of the “informal network” in solving problems – the emails, hallway discussions and phone calls that place on a daily basis or in a crisis.
When it comes to bringing the information network together with a formal approach, technologies and techniques from Enterprise 2.0 are a great fit: search, tagging and aggregation are the keys to bridging the gap.
Can this approach be extended beyond Information Governance? We believe it can. Governance techniques can generally benefit from this approach – from a corporate board discussion to managing compliance with environmental regulations. Does it mean we remove the verbal conversations? Of course not (although it might have them recorded, tagged and indexed). Is security important? Definitely. The proposed solution isn’t trivial, but the Networked Information Governance Solution Offering helps define the steps required.
