• What are the major elements that make up Information Governance and why are they an important part of an Information Governance Program?
• What are the business challenges that Information Governance addresses?
• What value and benefit does an organization expect to gain from implementing a solid Information Governance Program?

Be prepared to present a 10- to 15 -minute presentation
