Final thoughts?

From J. Garde: The nexus of the conversation is moving away from the equipment and the technology and the systems of the business to [users’] private systems. We see BYOD and all these things that are there to compensate. A lot of the information that [was] previously captured by the organization is actually not within the range of what the organization sees or has on its systems. We need to ensure that the practices we see in the consumer world get translated into things that we can use effectively within the enterprise world. That’s something that’s important for the future; otherwise the lack of control that [organizations] have will spiral more and more out of control.

From R. Hale: It’s a big problem. It’s tough to solve so don’t get wrapped up on the big thinking on information governance. Find the problem, use traditional and technology-enabled information practices to solve it and then grow it out from there. We spend too long paralyzed worrying it about too much.
