What is Digital governance? Definition and explanations

Digital governance defines who decides what in digital matters, under which rules and with what accountability: investment trade-offs, ownership of systems and data, technical standards, security, compliance. It heads off two symmetric failures — a proliferation of tools bought without coordination, and the paralysis where nobody dares decide any more.

In one sentence
