Models are on a continuum:Decentralization: A form of governance in which groups in an organization are free to make their own decisionsCentralization: A form of governance in which a single, central authority makes decisions for all sub-groups in an organization Federation in the middle: A form of governance in which groups in an organization recognize a central authority’s right to set high-level policy but retain individual freedom

Why Should I Care?• Even the best planned intranet can eventually become out of control
and lead to chaos• Deployment can become unmanageable• Disorganized collection of sites• Projects bubble up from various departments, resulting in multiple
separate deployments, each with its own server farm• As more departments add content, the intranet grows organically
across the company and the user experience grows more and more inconsistent
• If users are unable to find the content they need, for instance, due to poor information architecture (IA) or a lack of an enterprise search strategy, the value to intranet users is almost entirely lost
• Brand consistency across their SharePoint Server 2010 implementations, resulting in confusion about whether they are still on the enterprise’s intranet or somewhere external
• Brand inconsistency results in confusion about enterprise’s Intranet, Extranet and Internet or somewhere external
• And more...
