To improve performance, a growing number of companies are going social. Learn how organizations have created a structure to successfully adopt a social culture and its evolving changes. It’s not an IT project, it’s about the people, process and culture.

In this new world of work, “going social” (sharing and collaborating) results in better access to data, information and ideas, plus better decision making and more efficient (ie faster) research and ideation. Going social also means giving up control of data and information. Data Governance best practices show you how to maintain the right controls as you become less controlling.

This joint event by the Data Governance and Social Business societies aligns learnings from both the ‘going social means less control’ and ‘having the right control.’ John Eisenhauer, Sr. Director, Data Governance of McKesson will share experiences of data governance as Robert LeRoy, Sr. Vice President of Sogeti will share the journey of adopting a social culture.
