I have been writing quite a bit lately about the topic of Governance 2.0/Networked Information Governance, including an earlier post in this blog. Networked Information Governance = Information Governance + Enterprise 2.0. The idea for the name came from an excellent article published by Paul Strassman in 2001. At the time of its authoring in 2001, networked business models were continuing to grow in popularity, from the military to the most agile Fortune 2000 organizations. What it pre-dated was the radical advances in collaborative technologies would occur over the next few years to bring together “informal networks” that are so relevant in the application of governance. When it comes to bringing the informal network together with a formal approach, technologies and techniques from Enterprise 2.0 are a great fit: collaboration, search, tagging and aggregation are the keys to bridging the gap.
I wrote a more detailed post on this subject on FastForward and recently posted on presentation on slideshare.

Sean: Thanks for sharing your presentation. In spinning through it, I flashed back to all my colleagues from my Data Management / Data Warehousing days and I started firing off emails to point them to the presentation and look at pg 7. There are a whole lot of people responsible for Data Architectures who have no concept of overall Information Architecture and the cross-governance relationships. My skills were growing weak to be compelling enough in my arguments. Now I have you…
