Information Governance: Controlling Information as a Strategic Enterprise Resource

by Larry P. English
Published: January 1, 2008
Information governance is defined by Larry English as the act or process of leading, directing, controlling and assuring that information is managed effectively as an enterprise resource.

Information governance is the management role and responsibility applied to information as a resource of the enterprise. Information governance is simply the execution of management leadership (direction) and control (assurance that direction is followed properly) in order to manage information as an enterprise resource. This article on Information Stewardship is being published on TDAN.com in association with the Data Governance Conference Europe 2008, planned and delivered by IRM UK, DebTech International and Wilshire Conferences. Larry English was very kind to submit this content to TDAN.com through the IRM UK to promote the early February 2008 event. Larry will be a keynote speaker and will provide a full-day tutorial on information governance at the conference.
