Governance - more than just a policy manual

David Schatsky, in his first-rate article, Recipe for Web Site Governance, makes a strong case for were possible radically simplifying governance. The other powerful concept presented by David is governance is more than just a manual of standards and guidelines. He neatly introduces some very useful concept including:

1. Effective governance covers too many areas to be easily assigned to one team or areas
2. Codify expertise and rules into business process
3. Use an evidence based approach to decision making
