Why do organisations still survive? Point solutions work. Diligent staff don’t wait for formal process. Large organisations able to absorb impacts. Can ‘throw’ money at the problem. Generally good at business they do.

Is survival good enough for your organisation’s future? Point solutions are expensive difficult to maintain. Uncontrolled, irregular data sources may compromise company integrity. Why absorb impacts when you can avoid them. Why continue to ‘throw’ money at problems you can solve more effectively? If you don’t improve, you can be sure your competitors will.

5 Steps to Unified Governance 1.Recognise the problem exists. 2.Assess the scale and scope of the problem. 3.Put in place structure to manage it. 4.Deploy tools and integrate solutions 5.Make information visible to those who need it. (Concise, accurate, up to date)
