Detailed rules for MDM – seriously?

In these collaborative days where flexibility is a must, people are reluctant to talk rules. But there are good reasons for a set of rules – if done properly, and with the right motivation.

Key Takeaways

• Establishing MDM rules is not an end in itself
• You should combine different types of rules – just as in government
• Rules enforce, and rules help – you need to balance carefully
• No matter how good your rules are – they won’t help without a Board mandate
