The document discusses governance models for content management systems (CMS). It recommends a collaborative governance model with an executive sponsor, web steering team, web team, and content authors. The executive sponsor defines strategy and priorities and resolves conflicts. The web steering team enforces standards and policies and coordinates activities. The web team undertakes analysis and provides training and support. Content authors create and edit content within the CMS. Good governance requires aligning these roles and teams to achieve organizational goals.

Share point governance - an inside out perspectiveHARMAN Services
In the last few years, the adoption of SharePoint has caught everybody (even Microsoft) by surprise. Everybody seems to be investing into SharePoint and SharePoint has become the platform for the collaboration in the industry especially in mid to large sized organizations. Enterprises are using SharePoint in some form or the other.
When we trace back the roots of the popularity of this platform, it takes me back to the basic need of a human being which is being able to communicate easily with the people we live or work with. In the enterprises today, the need for people to collaborate or communicate is reaching its pinnacle because of the current economic conditions around the world. Let’s think about it, people in the ancient era formed small societies or communities to live together so that they can safely utilize the skills that they possess as a group which is not possessed by any single individual. These needs become more and more important when you are surrounded by adverse conditions. Sounds familiar?
This white paper discusses governance in above context. This big community (which is made up of smaller communities) constitutes an organization.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

• Four (4) workplace discipline methods you should consider
• The best and most practical approach to implementing workplace discipline.
• Three (3) key tips to maintain a disciplined workplace.

CMS Governance: Aligning Your People
1. You can lead a horse to water… CMS governance: Aligning people for success 1 Toronto | Ottawa | Calgary | Regina | New York
2. …but you can’t make him drink Aligning people for governance success Thank you for coming! (social media next door)
3. Amanda Shiga 3 NLC: a professional services company with core competencies in online strategy, large-scale web implementations and online marketing WCM consultant (Reddot, Sitecore, Sharepoint) Web strategy and business analysis @amandashiga http://www.nonlinear.ca/blog non~linear creations (Ottawa, Toronto, Calgary, Regina, New York)
4. What is (CMS) governance? 4 Ask 20 people, get 20 answers. A set of policies, roles, responsibilities and processes to guide, direct and control how your CMS is used to accomplish business goals A set of workflows and permissions implemented in your CMS The authoritative administrative structures that setpolicy and standards for Web product management
5. Don’t forget why you implemented a CMS in the first place! Common reasons To remove the IT bottleneck To empower distributed content authors to manage their own content To enforce standards across your web properties To automate processes for greater efficiency To manage web content as a proper digital asset and your website as a proper channel 5
7. 7 The Problem Two different departments have critical events happening at the same time and both want to be on the homepage. There’s not enough room. Who decides what goes on the homepage?
8. 8 The Problem You are considering changing the way you label navigation on your website. Who is responsible for looking at search analytics to determine the vocabulary your visitors actually use?
9. 9 The Problem There is a clear business case for a new faceted search engine. It will benefit almost every group that produces content in the organization. What budget does it come from? Who authorizes the purchase?
10. 10 The Problem The number of online registrations has dropped by 25%. (Increasing registrations is a key objective of the website) Who reacts?
11. 11 The Problem A series of untrue, near-slanderous blog posts are made about your organization and retweeted. Who is responsible for knowing this is happening? Who decides how to respond?
12. What can we do? 12 Today, I hope to … Draw a bigger circle around WCM governance that goes beyond workflows and permissions Provide you some helpful examples for aligning the right people in the right place(s) Offer some suggestions for the tough questions
13. What happens if you don’t put “good” governance in place? Messy, uncontrolled growth of content Organizational conflict Poor adoption and resistance to change Operational inefficiency Loss of credibility Risk of litigation 13
14. Typical governance FAIL No senior champion Project is an IT-driven initiative Web team has limited budget and power No consideration for change management No plan or vision Assuming the technology will handle everything Greatest barrier to success = politics Greatest key to success = senior champion 14
15. What types of governance models exist? Decentralized (common in larger orgs) No single owner Driven by policies and guidelines Organic growth, sometimes leading to site sprawl Centralized (common in smaller orgs) Single owner/department Bureaucratic Highly controlled 15
16. What types of governance models exist? Collaborative Executive champion Steering committee / council Decentralized content ownership Centralized platform 16
17. 17 Executive sponsor Web steering team Web team Content authors A collaborative WCM governance model for a large, distributed organization
18. The executive team/sponsor Roles and responsibilities Defining the overall strategy and priorities for the website. Allocation of funds Ensuring that the right people are in the right positions for online success Reviewing and approving brand guidelines Sets high-level policies Acting as a the final authority for resolving conflicts 18
19. A committed sponsor Doesn’t just sign the cheque Takes responsibility for the project Wants to see the project succeed Is fully informed and educated on the project 19
20. Some tips The business case should sell itself Education is key Provide the sponsor with ongoing status and goal updates Do not hide shortcomings Consider quick wins to show immediate value and maintain support 20
21. The web steering team Advice:the Internet Strategy Forum (2009) The role of internal online strategist has shifted: more than 60% of such positions are within two levels of the CEO The importance of the internet is growing in many organizations – the introduction of senior executive roles responsible for online execution Recommendation: Create a separate Internet strategic management function (do not force into IT or marketing as they exist) 21
22. The web steering team Roles and responsibilities Resolve questions of conflicting priorities based on objectives set by ES Brand enforcement - has power to deny proposals Define internal and external content; create policies on content lifecycle Coordinate activities, reducing duplication Decide how best to address new regulatory or legislative requirements Review metrics and using these to drive decisions 22
23. The web steering team Committees and membership Break down role into multiple committees reporting to the WST Members may be VP-level or middle management – ensure a decisions are made in an effective and timely manner Members should represent a healthy cross-section of departments with an interest in the website 23
24. The web team Roles and responsibilities Undertake ongoing analysis of user behaviour and report on this behaviour to ES and WST Content approval, workflow and permissions decisions Provide training and support to content creators Monitor and tune the site search engine Implement search engine optimization tactics Staying on the “cutting edge” as appropriate 24
25. Knowledge half-life The half life of knowledge in a given field is how long it takes for half of industry current expertise to become irrelevant or incorrect 25
26. Content contributors Roles and responsibilities Creation and editing of content Entry of content into WCM 26
27. 27 Executive sponsor Web steering team Web team Content authors A collaborative WCM governance model for a large, distributed organization
30. Put that all in place. When you develop your workflows and permission granularity, you will benefit from clarity and effective conflict resolution. 30
32. Sharepoint…talk about polarizing Context: An internal collaboration tool A massive cultural change In 2010, a status quo persists: shared drives, email and Excel Behaviours are not easy to change The big idea: no development required 32
33. Why do so many Sharepoint implementations fail? Lack of Sharepoint technology understanding Lack of executive sponsorship Lack of proper planning Lack of user engagement Deployed as a custom web application Lack of roadmap definition 33
34. Sharepoint dream team The executive sponsor remains crucial The steering team takes on some different responsibilities Selling Sharepoint to the organization and finding evangelists Approving how Sharepoint is implemented Final approval or rejection for all aspects of Sharepoint 34
35. The Sharepoint steering team 35 Helpful tips Representation from different departments; consider enthusiasts and volunteers Reconstructed on a quarterly basis (fresh people) Permanent members have more control and should represent different functions as well as departments IT members should be business-savvy, and business members should be IT-savvy; all should know OOTB Chairman should be executive level
36. The balancing act People like to know what to do – guide them Too much governance – lack of adoption Too little governance - chaos 36
37. Other suggestions Create a Sharepoint pilot first Create a positive buzz about the user experience Run the pilot for an influential business group Identify and reward individual evangelists Be careful of permissions With Sharepoint, your architecture must be carefully planned Permissions propagate/inherit in a specific way Again, the underlying system always has an impact 37
39. Advice from the trenches Align your people BEFORE your implementation starts! Before technical planning Before information architecture Maybe even before web strategy If you’ve already got a mess on your hands… All the more reason. Decision-making structure should be crystal clear when wading through a mess. 39
40. Advice from the trenches Prepare people for governance sessions Use your information architecture When in doubt, keep it simple. Educate people on CMS concepts: workflow, permissions, publication and other content-related processes. 40
42. More advice from the trenches The web is a distinct and unique medium – provide content authors adequate training and consider adding a content strategist to your team What is a content strategist? Rachel Lovinger: A content strategist is a [role] with specialized focus on using words and data to create unambiguous content that supports meaningful, interactive experiences. 42
43. How to encourage adoption Engage evangelists and spread the word Training – people fear the unknown Support structure Involve users as early as possible People will change if the change is worthwhile Restrict as much as possible, within reason 43
44. Act it out 44 Workshop – 20 minutes duration Select some small object to represent a piece of content Choose individuals or teams to represent ownership within the website Act out a process from start to end, including all approval steps and exchanges of information Repeat until your point is made
45. Sketch it out Visual is powerful Creating simple pictures is an incredibly powerful way to discover ideas and solve problems Get everyone up to the whiteboard! Very effective in sessions where team members sketched out their ideal homepage 45 Credit: Dan Roam
46. Use some persuasion 46 Human Behaviour 101 One of the best ways to get people to do something? Turn it into a game and add some competition. We just can’t resist. 50 insights into human behaviour that can be applied not only to web design, but also to business processes. Getmentalnotes.com (Stephen Anderson)
47. The $100 Game 47 Activity: Around 20 minutes You are provided with a list of priorities and $100 to ‘spend’. Distribute the money across the priorities according to how important those features. Explain and defend why you have divided your money in this way.
48. 48 The Problem You are considering changing the way you label navigation on your website. Who is responsible for looking at search analytics to determine the vocabulary your visitors actually use?
49. A good answer The web team is responsible for monitoring analytics and reporting findings to the web steering team. 49
50. 50 The Problem Two different departments have critical events happening at the same time and both want to be on the homepage. There’s not enough room. Who makes this decision?
51. A good answer The web steering team makes the call. Does not need to be escalated to the executive team unless absolutely necessary 51
52. 52 The Problem There is a clear business case for a new faceted search engine. It will benefit almost every group that produces content in the organization. What budget does it come from? Who authorizes the purchase?
53. A good answer The executive team makes the funding decision and allocates budget as required. 53
54. 54 The Problem The number of online registrations has dropped by 25%. (Increasing registrations is a key objective of the website) Who reacts?
55. A good answer The executive team pays attention to this and imposes an appropriate strategy and reaction chain through the steering and web teams 55
56. 56 The Problem A series of untrue, near-slanderous blog posts are made about your organization and retweeted. Who is responsible for knowing this is happening? Who decides how to respond?
57. A good answer Marketing and/or communications might take responsibility for this Social media monitoring 57
63. Closed ForumsEvaluation Network Pipeline Actions Monitor (See Notes) Is comment positive / neutral? Is this person in your network? (Twitter follower, YouTube subscriber, Flickr contact) Y Y Is it something you can respond to? Y Let Stand (See Notes) N N Is the comment off-topic for them or clearly just meant to antagonize? Y N Concur, Add or Thank (See Notes) N Is it a rage piece? Are they venting or ranting without a cohesive argument? Y Check their stream. Do they post a lot about related topics? N N Fix (See Notes) Is there a factual error? Is the comment misguided but rational? Y N Y Does the commenter have a specific concern or issue that can be addressed? Y Reach Out (See Notes) Invite them to connect N Is it something you can otherwise respond to? Y N
64. Takeaways Invest in people alignment It’s worth the time, effort and expense There are good and effective ways to structure everyone and everything for online success Form teams spanning traditional silos IT should not drive CMS initiatives Treat Sharepoint as unique Governance with some special tweaks 59

Editor's Notes
Who here has been part of a initiative to plan governance for a website? Who has been successful?
A good rule of thumb – when people get muddled in the details or the politics – take a step back and ask – why are we doing this?
Imagine (or maybe you don’t need to) that you are part of a team managing the website of a large organization. Multiple departments, multiple stakeholders.How would you answer these questions?
Give some anecdotes here #1 challenge we see after implementing a CMS for our clients -> the content authors don’t like it Loss of credibility – does anyone remember the United Airlines story from a couple of years ago? The company’s stock fell 76 percent in one day due to an article titled “UAL Declares Bankruptcy” appeared on the South Florida Sun Sentinel Web site that Sunday, got picked up by Google News, and then quickly summarized and republished to financial site Bloomberg by a reporter tasked with summarizing stories about companies in distress. Then the trading began and the stock collapsed. The problem: the article was from 2002, not 2008
NB: These are more general than CMS-specific.
NB: These are more general than CMS-specific.
The Executive Team meets routinely to manage the operational and strategic affairs of the University. For the web, this team is intended to be the senior decision making structure for online activities. It will set high level policies, define strategic direction and evaluate the success of online expenditures. THE CHAMPIONExecutive Team (ET) ResponsibilitiesThe ET would be responsible for:Defining the overall strategy and priorities for the Dalhousie Web site, particularly in support of enrolment objectives.Allocate funding for Web.Ensuring that the right people are in the right positions for the University to achieve online success. This may involve the reassignment of existing resources or advocating for additional resourcesEnsuring that online activities demonstrate a “whole of institution” perspectiveAdvocating for funding of new IT or Communications activities that promise high return on investmentReviewing and approving brand guidelines and proposed Common and Look and Feel for external sitesActing as a the final authority for resolving conflicts which the Operating Committee is unable to resolveThe ET would not have operational responsibilities.
NB: These are more general than CMS-specific.
Content reviewed by Web Team to ensure it complies with policies set by WST and ET
Is anyone NOT familiar with Sharepoint?
Use your information architecture (colouring exercise)When in doubt, keep it simple. Use as few approval steps as possible. Removing one bottleneck often creates another.Educate people on CMS concepts: workflow, permissions, publication and other processes. Our number one education pain point is workflows and gathering requirements for specific platforms.
