About the Webinar
Data stewards are a relatively new role. It is likely they also possess the best window into the business. What most data stewards are not provided in advance is a roadmap to eliminating data debt as a prerequisite to smoothly functioning data governance. Well-thought-out plans crash and burn on the rocks of reality – the existing data environment! Several issues are illustrative of these types of challenges:
- Full-time versus part-time support/resourcing
- Generally low data literacy everywhere
- The confounding complexity of data debit
- The specific role of data ownership
Data stewards are the implementation arm of data governance. They are also the first line of defense against bad data practices. Whether it’s data profiling or in-depth root cause analysis, data stewards ensure the organization’s shared data is reliably interconnected. Whether starting or restarting your data stewardship program, success comes from:
- Understanding the cadence/role of foundational data practices supporting organizational operations
- Proving value with tangible ROI
- Improving effectiveness/efficiencies using organization-wide insight
- Comprehending how stewards need to be multifunctional and dexterous, especially at first
- Integrating the role of data debt fighting
