Formalization of Authority

  Ensures that authority for Web Governance, Web Execution and Web Measurement are clearly articulated and properly resourced. So the organization knows:   Who makes the rules for the organization’s

Web presence   Who oversees the development of the

organizational Web presence   How Web “success” is measured
