Identifying Risks and Establishing Governance

The Importance of Governance in Enterprise 2.0 Projects | Smart Data Collective
Ross Dawson writes a great post outlining 6 steps to help make your enterprise 2.0 projects a success. He touches on the importance of governance being at the heart of your project. While most people think of governance as risk containment and setting limits on data sharing, Dawson argues that it is more importantly an enabler of innovation. Governance provides “parameters, guidelines and policies that address risks, and allow the greatest possible scope for experimentation and value creation.”
