Future-Proofing Your Organization's Taxonomy With a Governance Plan

Описание: Change is inevitable. The way your organization structures and manages information today won’t be the same five years from now or even next year. But without a strong governance plan, even the best-designed taxonomies can become disorganized, inefficient, or misaligned with business needs.

In this webinar, Paula Little & Connor Cantrell cut through the complexity of ontology and taxonomy governance and break it down into actionable strategies. They'll walk you through the essential pillars of a solid governance framework, from setting clear business drivers to creating guidelines that balance proactive and reactive workflows. You’ll hear real-world case studies of organizations that have successfully implemented governance plans—what worked, what didn’t, and the lessons they learned along the way.

You’ll also gain insight into one of the most overlooked aspects of change management - documentation. What should be documented? How do you keep it updated? And how do you ensure your entire organization actually uses it?

By the end of this session, you’ll walk away with:
• A clear understanding of ontology and taxonomy governance goals and how to assess your organization’s governance maturity
• Best practices for consolidating a single source of truth
• Strategies for improving transparency and communication across teams
• Solutions to common documentation and workflow pitfalls
• Practical insights you can start applying immediately

Whether you’re refining an existing governance plan or building one from scratch, this webinar will give you the tools to make ontology and taxonomy changes smoother, more strategic, and future-proof.
