Can Collaboration Boost Your Information Governance Program?
Collaboration is crucial for building a strong foundation in information governance (IG). Fostering teamwork and shared responsibility helps create effective IG policies, boost stakeholder engagement, and promote information stewardship.
In Part 1, we highlighted that information governance (IG) is a team effort, emphasizing the importance of collective mindset. Now, let’s leverage that teamwork spirit to build a strong foundation for IG stewardship within our organization. Prioritize collaboration by identifying key stakeholders, establishing communication channels, and fostering an environment for sharing diverse perspectives. By collaborating and sharing insights, we can create an IG program that addresses organizational needs and challenges, benefiting everyone.
Creating a Collaborative Environment: Engaging Stakeholders
Building a robust IG program necessitates a collaborative approach. This involves engaging stakeholders from various departments across the organization. Here’s how to ensure everyone has a seat at the table:
Identify key stakeholders from legal, IT, security, compliance, finance, HR, and other departments that generate or use significant data.
Establishing Communication Channels: Once you’ve identified key stakeholders, establish clear and open communication channels. This could involve setting up regular meetings, creating a dedicated communication platform, or utilizing existing communication channels within the organization.

The Power of Effective Communication: Transparency and Ongoing Dialogue
Transparent and ongoing communication is crucial for establishing a strong foundation for your IG program. Here’s how to keep everyone informed and engaged:
Communicate IG’s purpose and benefits to all employees, explaining its role in achieving organizational goals and enhancing data security. Regularly communicate updates on the IG program’s development and progress to keep everyone informed and invested in its success.
Providing Clear and Consistent Messaging: Use clear and consistent language when communicating about IG policies and procedures. Avoid overly technical jargon and ensure the information is readily understandable by employees from all levels and departments.
Develop comprehensive training materials and resources to educate employees on IG policies, procedures, and best practices. This could include online training modules, interactive workshops, or user guides that provide readily accessible information on information management practices.
Communication Channels: Keeping the Conversation Going
Maintaining open communication channels is vital for the ongoing success of your IG program. Here are some strategies to consider:
Create a centralized hub for IG policies, training materials, FAQs, and resources to foster self-learning and empower employees.
Leverage internal communication platforms to share IG program updates, answer employee questions, and address any concerns. This ongoing dialogue ensures everyone remains informed and promotes consistent understanding of IG practices.

Building Trust and Collaboration: The Road to Success
By fostering collaboration and communication, you build trust and a sense of shared responsibility among employees. TThis collaborative foundation is crucial for successfully implementing IG policies and developing a robust IG culture.
Key Takeaways from Part 2: Building Your Foundation
Building a strong information governance program requires a collaborative approach that engages stakeholders from across the organization.
Effective communication, both internally and with key stakeholders, is crucial for fostering understanding and buy-in for IG initiatives.
Collaborative policy development ensures policies are relevant, address specific departmental needs, and are more likely to be adopted by employees.
Establishing a centralized information hub, utilizing internal communication platforms, and creating feedback mechanisms encourage ongoing dialogue and continuous improvement.

Technology can struggle to interpret these nuances, potentially leading to misinterpretations or missed details. Human expertise is essential for accurately classifying information based on its context and ensuring it’s managed appropriately. A legal professional, understanding the broader contractual context, would recognize the exception and ensure its proper interpretation.
Making Sound Decisions About Data Management: Information governance involves making crucial decisions about data classification, retention schedules, and access controls. These decisions require a deep understanding of legal and regulatory requirements, ethical considerations, and the organization’s specific needs. While technology aids data analysis, human judgment is crucial for determining the best course of action for information management.
Identifying Relevant Information and Addressing Risks: Information governance isn’t just about storing data effectively. It also involves identifying and mitigating potential risks associated with information management practices. These risks could involve non-compliance with regulations, data breaches, or inadvertent disclosure of sensitive information. Technology can help identify patterns in data sets, but legal professionals can analyze these patterns and proactively identify potential risks. This allows for the development of strategies to mitigate these risks before they become problematic.
Shifting Mindsets: Building Awareness and Understanding
The first step towards building a culture of information governance stewardship is a fundamental shift in mindset. Here are some strategies to foster awareness and understanding among employees:
Highlighting the Importance and Benefits of IG: Educate employees about the importance of IG and its benefits for the organization. Explain how effective IG ensures data security, facilitates compliance with regulations, and ultimately contributes to achieving organizational goals.

Demonstrating Potential Risks of Poor Data Practices: Raise awareness about the potential risks associated with poor data management practices. These can include data breaches, legal sanctions, reputational damage, and lost productivity. Sharing real-world examples of data breaches or regulatory fines can emphasize the importance of responsible information management.
Tailoring Messaging to Different Departments: The importance of information governance may resonate differently depending on the department. For instance, the legal department focuses on compliance, while marketing prioritizes data security. Tailor messaging to each department’s concerns.
Creating a Shared Responsibility: Everyone is a Data Steward
Moving beyond awareness, the key to a successful information governance culture lies in creating a sense of shared responsibility. Everyone, regardless of role or department, is vital in ensuring the security, accessibility, and integrity of the organization’s information:
Line of Business Users: Daily users ensure accurate data classification and tagging by understanding and applying IG policies correctly.
IT and Security Teams: Implement and maintain secure data storage, access controls, and IG tools, collaborating with business users for alignment.
Management and Leadership: Leaders play a crucial role in setting the tone and fostering a culture of information governance stewardship. Allocating resources, participating in training, and upholding IG policies demonstrates a strong commitment to information management to employees.
Conclusion: Building a Foundation for Shared Responsibility and Stewardship
Shifting from a technological approach to shared responsibility fosters awareness and stewardship, empowering employees to manage information responsibly.
Key takeaways from Part 1: Beyond Tech:
A technology-centric approach to information governance (IG) can create silos and hinder collaboration. Shifting from ‘tech-first’ to fostering a culture of ownership and responsibility leads to a more effective IG program
A cultural shift requires leadership buy-in and open communication. Leaders need to champion the importance of IG and communicate its value proposition to all stakeholders.

Regular drills and updates to these plans ensure readiness when a real crisis hits.
Lesson 3: Third-Party Risk Management is Critical
The ripple effect of the CDK Global breach on thousands of dealerships demonstrates the importance of managing third-party risks. According to Risk Strategies, organizations should:
Vendor Vetting: Thoroughly vet vendors’ security practices before onboarding.
Regular Audits: Conduct regular audits of third-party access to systems and data.
Contractual Obligations: Ensure contracts include clear responsibilities for cybersecurity measures and incident response.
A chain is only as strong as its weakest link, and in today’s interconnected business landscape, that link might be a third-party provider.
Lesson 4: Employee Training and Awareness are Vital
While details of how the attackers initially gained access are not public, many cyberattacks exploit human error. Regular employee training on cybersecurity best practices is crucial. According to ISMS Connect, this includes:
Phishing Awareness: Training employees to recognize and avoid phishing attempts.
Data Handling: Educating staff on proper handling of sensitive information.
Policy Adherence: Ensuring employees understand and follow security policies.

Legal Response Plan: Having a legal response plan for potential breaches, including communication strategies and regulatory reporting.
Being prepared for the legal implications of a cyberattack can help organizations navigate the aftermath more effectively.
Lesson 6: Impact on Business Operations
The disruption caused by the cyberattack has had a significant impact on the operations of auto dealerships, affecting sales, financing, and customer service functions. According to CBS News, dealerships faced challenges in moving vehicles, with some reporting a decrease in sales by more than 5% compared to June 2023. This operational downtime not only affects the financial stability of the dealerships but also erodes customer trust and satisfaction. Ensuring business continuity and minimizing downtime are crucial aspects of information governance that need to be addressed.
The cyberattack forced dealerships to rely on manual processes, leading to increased labor costs and decreased efficiency. For example, Tom Maoli, who manages various dealerships, highlighted the adverse effects on sales during what is typically a busy period for car dealers. Delays in closing deals, financing approvals, and sales lead generation were common, affecting processes that would usually be swiftly concluded.
The impact extended to basic services like oil changes and warranty work, causing inconvenience for consumers seeking these services at dealerships. According to Reuters, the cyberattack is expected to cause a decline in new vehicle sales in June compared to last year, as reported by industry consultants. Despite the disruptions, analysts view the attack as more of a temporary inconvenience rather than a major business obstacle for dealerships and consumers.
The Importance of Information Governance in the Automotive Industry
The CDK Global cyberattack demonstrates the critical nature of information governance in the automotive sector. As dealerships increasingly rely on digital systems for everything from inventory management to customer relationships, the stakes for protecting these systems grow higher.
Robust information governance practices not only protect against cyberattacks but also ensure:
Compliance with industry regulations
Efficient operations and decision-making
Protection of customer data and trust
Business continuity in the face of disruptions
In an industry where trust and efficiency are paramount, strong information governance is no longer optional—it’s a necessity.
The CDK Global cyberattack serves as a wake-up call for the automotive industry and beyond. By learning from this incident and implementing strong information governance practices, organizations can better protect themselves, their partners, and their customers from the ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats.

Is relying solely on experience enough in today’s legal landscape?
While experience remains valuable, relying solely on intuition is no longer sufficient in the modern legal landscape. The Legal Edge Series emphasizes the transformative power of data-driven insights.
Effective information governance (IG) unlocks the strategic potential of legal data, empowering lawyers to make objective, evidence-based decisions that lead to better client outcomes.
This first blog post in The Legal Edge series delves into the critical role of data analysis and IG in achieving a competitive edge in today’s information-driven legal environment.
The Rise of Data-Driven Legal Decision-Making
Traditionally, legal decisions were often based on a combination of experience, intuition, and precedent. While these elements remain valuable cornerstones of legal expertise, data-driven decision-making is rapidly changing the game. By leveraging well-governed data, legal professionals gain access to a rich tapestry of information that can be analyzed and applied to inform their strategies.
Empowering Objectivity and Accuracy with Information Governance
Data, in itself, is only as valuable as its quality and accessibility. This is where IG plays a critical role. Effective IG practices ensure the accuracy, completeness, and integrity of legal data. Here’s how:

Predictive Analytics: By analyzing historical data, legal teams can identify trends in case outcomes, settlement amounts, and judge rulings. This predictive power allows for a more proactive approach to case management, enabling legal professionals to anticipate potential risks and develop strategies to mitigate negative impacts.
Benchmarking: Data analytics tools can be used to compare your client’s case against similar cases within the legal system. This benchmarking allows for a more realistic assessment of potential outcomes and settlement ranges.
Risk Assessment: By analyzing legal data related to past litigation, legal teams can identify areas of increased risk for their clients. This information can be used to develop proactive risk mitigation strategies and avoid potential legal challenges down the road.
The ability to identify key trends and patterns within legal data equips legal professionals with a strategic advantage. They can anticipate potential challenges, build stronger arguments based on historical data, and ultimately, better represent their clients’ interests.
Leveraging Data for a Competitive Edge and Stronger Client Advocacy
By integrating data analysis into their workflow, legal professionals can develop more targeted and informed legal strategies. Here’s how:
Case Assessment: Data analytics can be used to assess the strengths and weaknesses of a client’s case early on. By analyzing similar cases and identifying key factors that influenced outcomes, legal professionals can focus efforts on strengthening weak arguments and anticipate potential counterarguments from opposing counsel.
Discovery Strategy: Legal data analytics can be utilized to identify relevant electronic discovery (eDiscovery) sources and streamline the discovery process. By focusing efforts on the most relevant data sets, legal teams can save time and resources while ensuring they have access to the information critical for building a strong case.
Negotiation Strategy: Data analysis can provide valuable insights into settlement trends within specific legal areas. This information strengthens a lawyer’s negotiation position by arming them with data-driven expectations for potential settlement ranges.
Data is no longer just information – it’s a powerful tool for gaining a competitive advantage. By leveraging data-driven insights during case preparation and strategy development, legal professionals can unlock significant value for their clients.
This approach empowers teams to:
Craft more effective legal solutions tailored to specific client needs and challenges.
Proactively anticipate potential roadblocks and develop strategies to mitigate them.
Optimize resource allocation to focus on areas with the highest impact for client success.
Ultimately, data-driven decision-making empowers legal teams to deliver superior results for their clients, exceeding expectations and building stronger client relationships.The shift towards data-driven legal decision-making is not a fad; it’s a transformation that will reshape the legal profession. Legal professionals who embrace IG practices and develop their data analysis skills will be well-positioned to thrive in this evolving landscape.
