So which work packages are worthwhile pursuing? Ask any manager dealing with data issues and they’ll always have a ready-made answer. But there are many ways to discover which Information Governance (IG) needs are relevant.

I would recommend to approach this from 3 directions:

interview numerous knowledgeable stakeholders
review existing standards documentation
analyse core master data assets.

Every single one of them will unearth relevant data points. Do just one or two of them and you risk missing out on important components. This 3-pronged approach delivers a holistic picture of data and reporting issues and IG challenges (see diagram “Information Governance Framework: A 3-pronged program kick-off determines priorities and roadmap”).

They have occurred under the guidance of federal agencies, and under the umbrella of federal regulations."
