For the life of this blog I’ve been writing posts and articles that detail my web governance road-map. This is my approach to web governance and tracks with how I would evaluate a website governance system – assessing the governing processes, core processes and enabling processes. Together they combine to give you the web governance system where you are only as strong as your weakest link.
I thought it might be helpful to organize these posts as an index – so here you go. Let’s follow the yellow brick road!
The outline format shows the system as I envision it, along with the details that make up each part. Where I have links is where I’ve authored posts. If there isn’t a link yet, it means this is the topic of a future article.
As usual, I’d love to get your feedback – let me know where you see gaps or opportunities to round out my views.
