Scenario:You have recently been hired as a Chief Information Governance Officer (CIGO) at a large
company (You may choose your industry). This is a newly created position and department
within the organization that was founded on the need to coordinate all areas of the business
and to provide governance of the information. You will need to hire for all positions within
your new department.
The company has been in business for more than 50 years and in this time has collected vast
amounts of data. Much of this data has been stored in hard copy format in filing cabinets at an
offsite location but in recent times, collected business data is in electronic format stored in file
shares. Customer data is being stored in a relational database, but the lack of administration
has caused data integrity issues such as duplication. There are currently no policies in place to
address the handling of data, business or customer. The company also desires to leverage the
marketing power of social media, but has no knowledge of the types of policies or legal issues
they would need to consider. You will also need to propose relevant metrics that should be
collected to ensure that the information governance program is effective.
The CEO and Board of Directors have tasked you to develop a proposal (paper) that will give
them the knowledge needed to make informed decisions on an enterprise-wide Information
Governance program, addressing (at a minimum) all of these issues, for the company.
