Performing Information Governance: A Step-by-Step Guide to Making Information Governance Work

Appendix A. Organizational Change Management in Information Governance

One common thread of a successful or unsuccessful information governance implementation is the time, focus, and success of performing organizational change management. Organization change management, or simply change management, addresses an organization’s culture and ability to adopt the changes needed to implement an information governance organization. An information governance process means that executives and stakeholders that once had certain authorities, budgets, and organizations will defer those resources to another organization. In addition, they will now have to use that organization for something they already had, all for the good of the broader organization.
