Over the past several years I've had the honor to develop policy taxonomies for a large number of government, educational, military and corporate organizations. Although there is no such thing as a "one size fits all" taxonomy for all organizations, here is an example of a mind-map that sketches the interrelationships between information policy categories for a typical organization.
My two-day Governance and Taxonomy Workshop guides your team through the processes needed to create a tailor-made mind-map for your own organization's policies. The workshop also includes processes to test and prove the taxonomy against actual information types within your organization.
The biggest value in my workshop is that the processes I use get your entire team to agree on a common mind-map. Getting everyone on the same page will do more to make your SharePoint implementation successful than any other single action you can take.
