Read Chapter 10: Information Governance and Information Technology Functions. From this chapter, in addition, the previous ones, we continue to enhance our knowledge and understanding about IG best business practices, and how good data governance can ensure that downstream negative effects of poor data can be avoided and subsequent reports, analyses, and conclusions based on reliable, and trusted data could be achieved. From the risk management perspective, data governance is a critical activity that supports decision-makers and can mean the difference between retaining a customer and losing one.  On the same token, protecting your business data is protecting the lifeblood of your business, and improving the quality of the data will improve decision making, foster compliance efforts, and yield competitive advantages; hence, business profits would be earned.  To provide meaningful support to business owners, the Data Governance Institute has created a data governance framework, a visual model to help guide planning efforts and a logical structure for classifying, organizing, and communicating complex activities involved in making decisions about and taking action on enterprise data.  Discussion Question:  With this framework in mind, that allows for a conceptual look at data governance processes, rules, and people requirements, identify and name the 10 levels of the DGI Data Governance framework from the Data Governance Institute.

Our audience today often likes information in short "bites" with visual emphasis, so all writers need to be able to manipulate this type of document.These are some of the items that you will need to include: Banner at the top of the page with the author's name and subtitle (theme of your visual essay). Overview of what you are going to explain about his or her work. Two points enhanced by visual representations. A sidebar with biographical information on the author. A summary of what the two points convey in a larger sense. This assignment is designed to give your practice on creating a visual essay, and your audience would be a college class. Use color and design to convey your own sense of creativity!POSSIBLE TOPICS Take Simon J. Ortiz and compose an Infographic on him covering his background as a Native American, his themes in his poem, "My Father's Song," and his importance as a poet today.

Download: Project Guidelines: Poet Infographic Edit downloadTips: Creating an Infographic on a Poet Focus your ideas with a simple visual enhancement. When writing about the poet, always include a photograph of the poet (or portrait) to convey a sense of the poet’s identity. Keep the infographic focused on the main points: the introduction, biography, and main themes. Don’t cutter the information with other points. Make the visuals complementary with 2-3 main colors. These colors should coordinate and fit with the photographic images—not distract the reader. Vary the images. Don’t include all “square” shapes; the brain finds it appealing to see circles, lines, and squares. Use the “white space” effectively without making the colors overwhelm the images. Every aspect of the infographic should blend. Always proofread the text sections of the infographic. Grammar and punctuation errors detract from the credibility of the document
