Four Quadrant Governance Model

Most people acknowledge that the governance of SharePoint and other Enterprise Content Management Systems is important, but few have real clarity on what this actually looks like.

In this article, deep dive into real governance – the type of governance you “do”, not just “have”.

This whitepaper from Information Leadership outlines their four quadrant governance model and then gives a worked example of how each quadrant would apply to a power user. You’ll see how the accountability for the role increases and is focused on safely helping teams, managers, and individual users get the most from the implementation. You’ll also be less keen on sending these people on a vanilla Power User course that focuses just on functionality—the “what is possible”—without considering the traps for new users.
