Businessdictionary.com defines Governance as the establishment of policies, and continuous monitoring of their proper implementation, by the members of the governing body of an organisation. It includes the mechanisms required to balance the powers of the members (with the associated accountability), and their primary duty of enhancing the prosperity and viability of the organisation. This can also be referred to as corporate governance.
In short, it is a method of governing the company like a sovereign state, instating its own customs, policies and laws to its employees from the highest to the lowest levels.

As I’ve been traveling, I’ve received a number of questions from folks about where they can get my content to view “offline”, on the road, etc. With many thanks to Franklin Teagle, who spearheads our SharePoint Community Site, I can share with you a list of recent videos and recordings that he compiled. These are “live” recordings, with questions and answers, glitches, demos and “uh’s and ah’s”, but they’re a great way to catch up with some (if I may say so) pretty good SharePoint content
Governance, risk management and compliance (GRC) is a relatively new term that encompasses a set of interrelated processes and activities designed to assess and manage risk and compliance. It supports and protects knowledge management functions such as enterprise content management (ECM) and collaboration.

Made it back from the Berlin European SharePoint Conference 2012. A very succesful event that hopefully is the first of a long row of yearly european gatherings of the european SharePoint community.

I made new connection with some very nice people from a lot of different places; Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, UK and Russia – just to name a few – , and got to refuel a lot of old relatioships with people from Denmark, US etc. To an extend, this conference actually felt even more global than the Microsoft conference in Anaheim. It was very interesting to be a part of this.
