Federal Web Governance Workshop

Web governance is critical for mitigating risk and aligning the Web presence with the agency mission. But often times, Federal Web teams find themselves bogged down in indecision or struggle to set Web policy and standards that stick. During this one day workshop you’ll learn about proven strategies for creating a decision-making framework, getting senior leadership support and arming yourself with tools to effectively govern your agency’s Web presence.

• Are spending a lot of time reacting to one-off requests/situations that arise as new Web technologies or initiatives gain prominence, like social media, ARA and the Open Government Directive
• Have developed a set of Web policies and standards, but are frustrated by the inability to implement or enforce them
• Are tired of trying to interpret vague Web guidance from OMB and Department leadership
• Are fed up with confusion/tension over who makes decisions about Web standards

• Don’t have enough power to affect change in your organization – you're trying to figure out how to make the business case for governance to leadership.

• A Web Policy and Standards Audit checklist
