    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 your program and are the subject of our next IG Community Roundtable. Join us as we dive into whys and wherefores of these too-often-overlooked issues, exploring the relationship between them and the ripple effects associated with doing them well (or not) … effects that can impact your ability to cost-justify your entire initiative. This will be an hour very well spent!

    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 help you get the most value you can from what you’re doing. © Steve Weissman • All Rights Reserved • www. hollygroup.com • 617-383-4655

    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. •  And even when they can be distinguished, many of the differences are so highly-specialized that they may not even apply to you. So how can you narrow the field and end up choosing something that actually suits your needs? Answering this question is the subject of this IG Community Roundtable, which features information experts Steve Weissman, Jesse Wilkins, Donda Young, and several of our less-shy participants. Don’t miss it — it's an hour well spent. --- Steve Weissman - steve@hollygroup.com Jesse Wilkins - jesse.wilkins@athroconsulting.com Donda Young - dlyoung@heliasconsulting.com © Steve Weissman • All Rights Reserved • www. hollygroup.com • 617-383-4655

    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 address these questions, and more. Have a listen if you prefer real conversation over talking-head webinars, and real-world stories over ivory-tower opinions. You'll be glad you did! © Steve Weissman • All Rights Reserved • www. hollygroup.com • 617-383-4655

    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
