Finding Common Ground with Information Governance

In terms of managing information, therefore, compliance usually means some or all of the following:

Defining policies based on best practices rather than what the organization can actually comply with
Planning and executing work with a cost center mindset rather than a P&L mindset, e.g., no business case for compliance, poor modeling, visibility and tracking of costs and benefits, little to no sense of “competing” for organizational dollars against business initiatives
De-coupled (or only loosely coupled) to operational strategy and direction
Shallow understanding of the organization’s value chain, i.e., how we make money
