Information governance competency domains (ARMA - DACUM chart)
Most of you know about the IGP certification
http://www.arma.org/r2/igp-certification
but few are aware of what the required skills and competencies are.
There is a useful chart called DACUM (....)
DACUM stands for Developing a Curriculum
"Developing a Curriculum (DACUM) is a process that incorporates the use of a focus group in a facilitated storyboarding process to capture the major duties and related tasks included in an occupation, as well as, the necessary knowledge, skills, and traits. This cost-effective method provides a quick and thorough analysis of any job"

However: all this seems quite US-centric and we all know that the real life in a European environment looks different.
What matters?
Most IG initiatives just prescribe behaviour through standards, policies, roles, change control etc. this mostly fails to engage nor excite staff. instead ....
Start asking what is the data use of employees, dependencies, flows etc. which makes them invested and truly part for the governance community. When engaging with users start using data flow tools which support their business processes.
