Episode notes
Define Goals And Scope First
- Define clear goals and scope before designing your IAM program to narrow focus and guide decisions.
- Translate business drivers into measurable objectives like efficiency, cost reduction, or compliance improvements.

- Use that assessment to prioritize gaps you must fix before adding advanced features like AI or analytics.
