The first major goal of a company developing a new privacy program should be to schedule conversations with executives of affected departments. This is because a privacy program requires the support and involvement of senior management and key stakeholders from different business units, such as legal, IT, marketing, human resources, etc. By engaging with them early on, a privacy professional can understand their needs, expectations, challenges, and risks, and align the privacy program objectives and strategies with the organization’s goals and culture. References: [How to Develop a Privacy Program], [Privacy Program Management]
