The most efficient and effective governance projects tend to be those that follow some sort of emergency: a breach, a lawsuit, a flood, etc. Hence the expression "never waste a crisis" – a phrase of which I was recently reminded by Cheryl Banke, CEO and Founder of Belvedere Consulting and my special guest in this episode of Speaking Of.

Governance, Dashboards, and Audits (Oh My)
You know how important metrics are to doing governance right. (If you don’t, have a watch of our May 2025 Roundtable on the subject!) But simply collecting them isn’t enough; rather, you have to ensure they are viewable, analyzable, and actionable on an ongoing basis, and reportable in easily-digested ways to senior executives and external overseers. In practical terms, this means enhancing your dashboarding and auditing capabilities – twin requirements that are critical to the longevity of ...

Pursuing Good Governance? It’s About Time.
When pursuing good governance, time needs to be at least as well budgeted as money. Otherwise, you’ll do a poor job of it – or worse, never get done at all. © Steve Weissman • All Rights Reserved • www. hollygroup.com • 617-383-4655

What to Do if Your AI is Fizzling
Remember how AI was going to disrupt and transform our businesses? Well, according to research and my own observations, a lot of that hype has since fizzled. Why? Because there’s more focus being placed on installing AI than installing AI of practical value – and it’s the latter that is going to make or break it where you work. Here's a short list of critical tasks to keep your initiative from stalling out – or to revive it if it has. Have a listen and then give me a ring, and I’ll hel...

True Stories in Information Governance: A Privacy Swing and Miss
Here's a story about that time a client with a privacy initiative almost skipped SalesForce as a system to include in its search for PII – "because it doesn’t have any private information in it"!

Savvy Strategies for Selecting a Solution - Community Roundtable
Selecting an information solution can be one of the most challenging and time-consuming parts of any governance initiative because a number of factors nearly instantly muddy the waters. For example: • There are simply way too many offerings on the market to be able to keep track of them all. • Most of those you do find boast features, functions, and adjectives (“market-leading!” “cutting-edge!” “AI-enabled!”) that sound so similar that it can be hard to tell one from another. •...

True Stories in Information Governance: Good Cop, Bad Cop
Hear about the time a client asked help installing a culture of governance at his company because, as much as he tried to play Good Cop, “I’m not really getting anywhere.” Turns out he needed a Bad Cop as well – or at least the spectre of one. -- Steve Weissman steve@hollygroup.com 617-383-4655 © Steve Weissman • All Rights Reserved • www. hollygroup.com • 617-383-4655

Data Quality, AI, and YOU! - Community Roundtable
No conversation about information is complete without talking about data quality. This is especially critical when it comes to AI, of which so much is expected, because – as is true everywhere – you have to put good stuff IN if you want to get valuable stuff OUT. (GIGO, anyone?) But: what exactly IS “data quality” anyway? How is it defined? Measured? Improved? In this InfoGov Community Roundtable, information governance experts Steve Weissman, Jesse Wilkins, Donda Young, and people like YOU...

On Paper or On Screen, It's Your Information That Has Value
Imagine you have a piece of paper and you’re going to peel the information off the page. Why? Because it's the INFORMATION that has the value. The fact that it happens to be on a piece of paper or a disk or hard drive doesn't matter. It's the information that's key. © Steve Weissman • All Rights Reserved • www. hollygroup.com • 617-383-4655

ATTN Information Professionals: Embrace AI for It Will Rescue You
A lot has been said – much of it by me – about the enormous opportunity AI has to propel records and information professionals into the heart of their organizations’ data-related discussions and deployments. After all, it can be only as effective as the quality of the information it operates on enables it to be. So, truly, AI is something we should embrace and not fear. Explore this dynamic further by listening to my (sometimes gently prickly) interview with EncompaaS CEO Jesse Todd, who desc...

Information Governance’s “One Thing”
One of my go-to pop references is the scene in the 1991 movie City Slickers where Jack Palance tells Billy Crystal that the secret of life is One Thing. The catch, Palance says, is that we have to figure out what that One Thing is for ourselves. The One Thing in information governance is to serve the cause of Doing Information Right™. Fixating on this single principle allows you to evaluate and prioritize each idea you have and decision you make in the context of what you are trying to...

Wanted! An IG Code of Human Ethics
As information professionals, we deal daily with a mass of details and endless internal politicking. But it’s vital that we always remember that there are PEOPLE at the end of our workstreams who are affected by what we do. My thought is to create an IG Code of Human Ethics to ensure that what we do actually provides human benefit.

A Business Case Tip for Information Governance
When it comes to making the business case for information governance, we need to seek tangible, readily-understood, administrative and operating costs that our sound information disciplines can reduce. The familiar arguments that things will get “better” and “faster” are all well and good, but you can’t beat adding “calculably cheaper” if you really want to capture your senior team’s attention. © Steve Weissman • All Rights Reserved • www. hollygroup.com • 617-383-4655

No Decision IS a Decision in Information Governance
Information governance issues like findability, retention, compliance, and privacy don’t stand still … they either get better or they get worse, and they don’t get better on their own. Chances are, you know have to do SOMETHING, but haven’t yet figured out what. The problem is that not making a decision today about how to address these issues IS, in fact, making a fateful decision for tomorrow: namely, to let your situation fester. This is risky on a whole lot of levels ranging from simply fi...
